St. Vincent Cathedral

Saint-Vincent is the granite heart of Saint-Malo. It’s a tough building for a tough town. Started in the 12th century, it survived the firestorms of 1944. After thirty years of reconstruction, its spire now stands 60 meters tall—a symbol of a city that refuses to be forgotten.

The Explorer’s Path

Inside, the cathedral houses the tomb of Jacques Cartier, the legendary explorer who set sail from these shores to discover Canada in 1534. The space bridges the gap between the sacred and the sea, serving as a silent witness to the adventurous spirit of the Malouins.

A Masterpiece of Light

Post-war restoration brought a unique modern beauty to the cathedral. The stained glass windows, designed by Max Ingrand, flood the granite nave with vivid, contemporary colors. It’s an atmospheric journey where the weight of medieval history meets the resilience of modern France.
