Private City & Coast Highlights by Vintage Sidecar, Saint-Malo

See the Brittany coast from the sidecar of a vintage-style motorcycle with this hourlong sightseeing drive around Saint-Malo. Piloted by your own private driver-guide, you'll start among the cobbled alleys of the Intra-Muros, shaped by centuries of swashbuckling privateers and maritime adventurers. Then, leave the busy Old Town behind as you explore quieter areas beyond the city walls. Cruise past golden tidal beaches, skirt traditional Breton fishing harbors, and cut through coastal enclaves like Saint-Servan and Le Rosais.

This hourlong sightseeing drive starts when you meet your private guide, don a stylish helmet, and hop into a comfortable, vintage-style motorcycle sidecar. After a spin around the granite ramparts and cobbled streets of Saint-Malo's walled Intra-Muros (the historic fortified old town), it's time to set off to explore to some quieter, more authentic areas of the city and the surrounding Emerald Coast.

You might start by zipping along the 1.8-mile (3 km) stretch of golden sand at Plage du Sillon, or turn south to cruise through village-like enclave of Saint-Servan, home to a 14th-century stone tower and a lively harbor. Learn about the region's rich maritime legacy as you pass moored replicas of wooden sailing ships, and get a glimpse of daily Breton life as you watch traditional flat-bottomed oyster boats returning to port. Other highlights might include a loop through Le Rosais, a quiet residential area set between the sprawling green space of the Parc de la Briantais and the tidal beaches of the Rance Estuary.
