Nice and enlightening visit

I think it is a very good way to get to know the city at your own pace, in my case I had a coffee break and then continued the visit, so that was great, and even if you can do the visit in the 75 minutes I higly recommend to take your time and enjoy the views.
I also found the stories and comments about the city very interesting!
Interesting but not yet fully developed

It is very difficult to make the app work. Reboot 3 times during walk. And very complicated to locate in the streets or ramparts of St Malo. The photos proposed to locate us are very difficult to access depending on the sunshine. We took 3h30 to do the 2h walk.
But the comments are very interesting.
