Saint-Malo is a port city in Brittany, France on the English Channel coast. It has a terminal for ferry services with daily departures to Portsmouth and Poole in the United Kingdom. It is one of the most visited places in Brittany.

One of the biggest attractions in Saint-Malo is the walled city, which has a long history of piracy. Pirates often forced passing ships to pay for their passage. These acts and other "piratical" notoriety were portrayed in the 19th century play 'Le flibustier' by Jean Richepin.

Inhabitants of Saint-Malo are called 'Malouins'. The term comes from the Spanish name for the 'Islas Malvinas', known in English as the Falkland Islands. The Spanish name derives from the name 'Îles Malouines', given to the islands by the French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainvillea in 1764. Bougainville founded the Falkland Islands after setting sail from Saint-Malo.

Another famous explorer from Saint-Malo is Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), who sailed to Canada three times and was the first European to discover Prince Edward Island and the shores of the Saint Lawrence River, which he named 'The Country of Canadas'.
