For a truly unique experience while visiting Saint-Malo, tourists can walk straight out to the coast from the Le Bénétin restaurant in the Rothéneuf neighborhood. Here they will find a sculpture garden featuring scenes from the city’s history tucked away along the shoreline. Adolphe-Julien Fouré, a rector who was left deaf and mute after a stroke, retired from the priesthood and returned to his native village, where he spent the next fifteen years creating these remarkable works of art. Sea creatures, fisherman, pirates, explorers, and religious figures are among the subjects that he carved into granite at The Sculptured Rocks and left behind when he died.
