Transport Links – Saint-Malo's train station is located over a kilometer south of the intramuros area, but it's an easy 20-min walk straight down Avenue Louis Martin. There are a few direct TGV services daily from Paris which take about three hours. Most travellers, however, will end up connecting in Rennes, from where there are hourly commuter services to Saint-Malo.
There are two buses daily to Pontorson which depart from the train station and stop at the city walls. The buses are timed to connect to onward buses to Mont Saint Michel. Saint-Malo has a good bus system, with the main terminals located at the train station and just outside the walls. The walled city is easily covered on foot, but you can also opt for the Tourist Train.
