The Welsh monk St Malo ( or Maclou) is said to arrived at the settlement of Alet around the end of the 6th century. He built his first religious foundation at this former centre of the Coriosolites tribe. Remains of a rather later Romanesque church can still be seen there at place St-Pierre. Later the town moved a little to the east to occupy the rock on which the famous ville close of St-Malo now stands, taking the name of this founding saint. The current cathedral of St-Malo, well worth a look, is dedicated to St-Vincent.
