What is it like to retire in Saint-Malo?

"Life for a retiree in Saint-Malo, can be quite charming and relaxed. The city is known for its rich history, beautiful architecture, and stunning coastal views, making it an ideal place for those who appreciate culture and natural beauty. There is a small but active expat community in Saint-Malo, with many retirees from various countries choosing to settle here. This community often organizes social events and activities, providing a great opportunity for retirees to meet new people and make friends. Cultural attractions are abundant in Saint-Malo. The city is home to several museums, including the Musée d'Histoire de la Ville et du Pays Malouin, which offers a fascinating insight into the city's past. The Saint-Malo Cathedral is another must-see, with its stunning stained glass windows and impressive architecture. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Saint-Malo offers plenty of options. The city's beautiful beaches are perfect for leisurely walks, while the nearby Grand Aquarium is a popular destination for nature lovers. Sailing is also a popular pastime in Saint-Malo, thanks to its location on the coast. Nightlife in Saint-Malo is more laid-back than in larger cities, but there are still plenty of options for those who enjoy a night out. The city has a number of cozy bars and restaurants, many of which offer live music. For a more cultural evening, retirees can catch a performance at the Théâtre de Saint-Malo. Overall, life for a retiree in Saint-Malo is peaceful and relaxed, but with plenty of opportunities for socializing, cultural exploration, and outdoor activities," remarked one retiree in Saint-Malo.
