Located in the beautiful region of Brittany, Saint-Malo was once a feared base for pirates and corsairs. Today, it stands as an impressive tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. The highlight of this destination is the captivating walled city, known as intramuros, which was unfortunately destroyed during World War II but has been meticulously reconstructed. Beyond the walls, you will find the modern towns of Parame and Saint-Servan. Additionally, Saint-Malo proudly claims the birthplace of the renowned French explorer Jacques Cartier, who is famous for his exploration of Quebec.

The first popular French dish is Ratatouille, a colorful vegetable stew traditionally made with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and seasoned with herbs such as thyme and basil. This hearty, non-meat dish is typically served alongside grilled meats or fish.

Another famous French dish is Coq au Vin, a braised chicken dish that originated in Burgundy. It involves marinating chicken pieces in red wine with mushrooms, bacon, onions, and garlic before slow-cooking them until tender and flavorful. The final dish is often garnished with parsley and served with potatoes, noodles, or bread.

Lastly, the iconic French dish, Croissants, are flaky, buttery pastries made from layers of laminated dough, which are then curved into a crescent shape and traditionally served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Although they are not typically a savory or sweet dish, croissants can be filled with various ingredients like ham and cheese (called a jambon-beurre) or almond paste and sugar (an almond croissant).
