The legend of Saint-Lunaire
In the year 535, a Welsh monk named Léonor, the future Saint-Lunaire, landed at Pointe du Décollé, where a commemorative cross now stands. It is said that to reach this spot, he cut through the thick fog with his sword… Today, Saint-Lunaire’s effigy is visible inside the Old Church, located in the town center. The church is open for visits from Easter to All Saints’ Day. There, you can admire one of the finest collections of effigies in Brittany, housed in a lovely Romanesque church

A breathtaking view
The must-sees of Saint-Lunaire.
Upon reaching the Pointe, take the path on the left and walk towards the cross. The panorama unfolds like a gift: the corsair city of Saint-Malo to your right, Cap Fréhel to your left, and behind you, the Grande Plage, graced by the Grand Hôtel, now transformed into a private residence. The rocky coastline is rugged, sculpted by the sea over the ages, revealing its treasures with the rhythm of the tides. At high tide, the tip of the Pointe seems to detach from the rest.
