La pointe de la Varde

Rocky point located in the Rothéneuf district of Saint-Malo, the point of the Varde is a protected natural site culminating at 32 m above the sea and offering a breathtaking view of the bay of Saint-Malo. The first fortifications date from 1694 and contribute to the city's defense system designed by Vauban. The German army took over the site in 1943 and used the general structure of the fort to insert bunkers.
These unsecured ruins are now closed to the public.
