Ancien Embarcadère: Gateway to Saint-Malo's Maritime Soul

Getting There

• Walking

  From the Intra-Muros (the walled city), the Ancien Embarcadère is easily accessible on foot. Head towards the sea from Porte Saint-Vincent, the main gate. Once through the gate, walk along the ramparts or the coastal path towards the northwest. The pier is located near the Petit Bé fort.

• Public Transport

  If arriving by train or bus at the Gare de Saint-Malo, take bus line 1 or 2 towards Intra-Muros. Get off at the 'Intra-Muros' stop, which is just outside the city walls. From there, follow the walking directions to reach the Ancien Embarcadère. A single bus ticket costs approximately €1.70.

• Taxi/Ride-sharing

  Taxis are readily available at the Gare de Saint-Malo and other locations in the city. A taxi ride from the train station to the entrance of Intra-Muros will cost approximately €10-€15. From there, it is a short walk to the pier. Ride-sharing services like Uber may also operate in Saint-Malo.

• Parking

  If driving, parking is available outside the Intra-Muros. Consider using the Paul Féval parking area behind the Hippodrome, which offers free shuttle service to the city walls for €3.30 per day. Alternatively, there are several paid parking lots closer to the old city, such as Parking Vauban, Parking Duguay-Trouin, and Parking La Galère. Parking at the Naye Ferry Terminal costs €17.40 per 24 hours.
