Of all the approaches to Brittany, none is said to be more spectacular than arriving at St. Malo from the sea. The French call this area the "Cote d´Emeraude," as the cliffs are covered in a blanket of heather and bracken. About an hour from the port is the Gothic masterpiece of Mt St. Michel, considered by many to be Normandy´s most impressive monument. The structure was built over the course of 500 years atop a 260-foot rock.
