fort national

去城堡走走还行-但是这儿真的没啥有趣的,你能从任何一家当地的旅游局获知这些历史。没啥特别的-而且他们对英国人还挺刻薄!!!!去这儿旅游不是个好主意!!

我们去堡国家(Fort National)的旅行很棒,有导游的讲解。他幽默风趣。这里还有为不懂法语的旅行者发行的增刊。去堡垒前查一下开放时间,因为浪大的时候不能进去。围墙外面的旅行社就有一张标有开放时间的表。

从海面延伸至海滩和海岸的景色令人叹为观止。很难想象,这里是在经历了二战轰炸后重建的,因为所有的一切都仿佛已经存在那里近千年了。

那天天气晴朗,我沿着城堡散步,风景实在是美。大海,海滩,游船和小船组成了一副天然的图画。在城堡内部经营了许多餐厅,东西都很可口,其中一家售卖了当地的馅饼,口味相当的不错,店里生意自然也非常红火。周边若干古老建筑散布在新兴建筑里,令人产生不知置身中古还是现代的错觉。这是一个有趣的地方,值得一去。

城堡很漂亮,被保护的很完善。遗憾的是我没有机会到里面去看看,但是沿着围绕城市的围墙散步也是不错的体验。在这里可以俯瞰整个城市,眺望大海和沙滩和其他的要塞。沿着环城的路上有很多咖啡馆和酒吧,可以边喝东西边赏景,太棒了。

We weren't able to visit the fort since it is opened only from June to September but we did walk out to it during low tide. The low tide was at about 15:00 the day we visited but we were able to cross the beach from about 11:00 or 12:00, so as you have an idea how to plan your crossing time. It is amazing how I couldn't get any information on any website...The view was good and it was fun. But it is a shame with its short opening period because when we were there on early March, St Malo was already pretty much packed with tourists.

If you get a chance to walk out to Fort National when the tide is low, do it! There is something about walking out to the fort that is surreal when you've seen the view at high tide. The views back to St. Malo are worth the cost of admission. We did our own tour, with the English pamphlet provided, and that worked out pretty well, except that we weren't able to access all parts of the fort. They definitely give the tours priority. Just a note: the tours are free, but we saw the signs; they will ask for a tip.

Especially visit at night it impresses a lot when it is dark. But it is not so crowded at night so be careful.

You get to the fort over the beach. Entrance is 5 euros which helps to pay for the restoration of the fort which was bombed in August 1944. I won't spoil the story of what happened, but it is a tragic one. If you are French, you get a guided tour which includes the ammunition store. If you are English you get a piece of paper which gives you a lot of information if you can follow it. The views from the fort are wonderful.

The vast potential of this historical site is not realised. The 5 euro entrance fee for an adult is way too much for whats on offer. First you have to wait for the tides to be favourable to walk to the site. Although we went on 2 separate occasions and a guided tour is advertised, all we were given was a poorly worded description of the background to the site in English and had to find our own way. Views from the top are superb but apart from the underground ammunition store the site itself offers very little of interest. Careful not to purchase your ticket to close to the tide coming in or you may have to cut your visit short to get back, although , it is an all-day ticket so you can return and continue where you left off when the tide is out again.

...the museum is a good visit...but the view of the surrounds is very beautiful...go early to ensure a quiet look around and climb to the top.

The fort as a museum is very small and doesn't provide much information and places to visit. You get a guided tour in French and a paper with English (and several other languages) translation of the main facts. Again, nothing much to see, but there were descriptions of several interesting episodes of St Malo history. From a museum perspective the entrance fee of €5 is quite high.But this is not just a fee to enter the museum, but also to give some food to your imagination. Just walking around and seeing the fort, the walls, the drawbridge, the seascapes with other forts and St Malo walls, provides both wonderful views and lots of pictures for a vivid imagination - pictures of ships and sea battles, corsairs, seafarers, and other episodes of the past. The whole dependance on the tide adds to this - the fact that the fort is accessible on foot when the tide is out, and is quite far and formidable when the tide is in - adds to this work of imagination and keeps one astonished each time.A must if you want to daydream of the seafaring adventures of the past.

What a delight to walk out to fort national on the tidal sands especially if you have seen it when the tide is in. This perfectly preserved fort of the 1700 s is like a boys own first . Real captain and commander stuff.

Good for history - cut off by the tide which was unexpected so had to paddle! 70 years since the killing of 18 people so flowers left to remember them.

From the fort there are superb views of the sea, islands and St Malo itself. Perhaps a bit pricey at €5.
