First, this place has no admission fee - a real bonus where so many other attractions are not free. However, it is not the kind of place one can appreciate in a hurry.

This restored Cathedral is well worth a visit. The stained glass windows dominate the interior and the altar is a magnificent work of modern art to the Glory of God.

We have been enthusiastic to find such beatiful windows with fine worked coloured glasses in perfect gothic style. If you come to Saint Malo, you can't miss it.

War can dramatically alter the landscape of an area, and Saint Malo intra muros is one of the places I've been to where they've suffered extensive bombing but have then took what they had and recreated it pretty much authentically to the original. With the exception of one monument, the cathedral which was badly damaged in 1944. The cathedral is... More

Loved the stained glass and the cool interior. Big difference in architecture between the nave and chancel.

Huge, beautiful and very impressive. It would have been nice to have some information about the history and contents in English.

Cathedral is in the centre of the old town and is beautiful inside although a bit dark. Make the effort to visit if you are in St Malo.

No one else there when we visited. Beautiful windows, definitely worth a look and it's right in the centre of St Malo, so you can't miss it.

This cathedral in the middle of the old city is a very quiet and calming place to spend some time for relaxing from your walks. It is interesting enough and it has very nice Stained (vitraux), which make the interior walls full of colors when the sun rays pass through them.
