The Cathedral of Saint-Malo

A large tile on the floor of the cathedral reads, “Here Jacques Cartier knelt to receive the blessing of the Bishop of Saint-Malo on his departure for the discovery of Canada May 16, 1535. HonorĂ© Mercier, Prime Minister of Quebec, souvenir of his visit in 1891.”

Like the rest of the walled city of Saint-Malo, on the northern coast of Brittany, the church is stunningly beautiful.
