Saint Malo - île du Grand Bé

            Le Grand Bé (ou Bey ) est une île inhabitée de Saint-Malo située à l'embouchure de la Rance, au pied des remparts de la ville de Saint-Malo. Elle devient presqu'île à marée basse et l'on peut ainsi y accéder à pied depuis la plage de Bon-Secours.
Le Grand Bé se situe à environ 500 mètres à l’ouest de la plage de Bon-Secours, au pied des remparts de la ville. Une dépression naturelle sépare l’ île de la ville et est rarement sèche, même à marée basse. Une chaussée cimentée surélevée permet d’y accéder. Celle-ci est récente. Au XIXe siècle, on arrivait au Grand Bé par une passerelle en bois et, plus anciennement, en marchant sur des pierres roulantes.
Sur un promontoire à l’ouest de l’îlot on peut voir la tombe de François-René de Chateaubriand, écrivain et homme politique, né à Saint-Malo en 1768

Grand Bé is a tidal island near Saint-Malo, France. It is located at the mouth of the Rance River, a few hundred meters from the walls of Saint-Malo. At low tide the island can be reached on foot from the nearby Bon-Secours beach. On the island are the remains of an ancient fort.

François-René de Chateaubriand, a French writer native to Saint-Malo, is buried on the island, in a grave facing the sea.
