Karting de Saint-Malo

On the Côte d'Émeraude, in Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes, Karting de Saint-Malo stretches 900 metres of outdoor track in the back country of Saint-Malo. The site sits halfway between the corsair city and Cancale, in a typical Brittany countryside of polders, oyster beds and sunken lanes. It's a busy address in summer, when holidaymakers in cottages or seaside rentals look for a different activity between two tides, but it stays well-frequented year-round by Saint-Malo locals and people from the surrounding area.

The 900-metre outdoor layout alternates fast sections and technical sequences, with the extra character of the Brittany oceanic climate : drier in summer, more demanding on Atlantic drizzle days. Several kart classes are available depending on driver level, from beginner models for younger riders to punchier versions for regulars looking to push their lap times. The site welcomes first-time drivers in family groups and regularly hosts kids' birthdays, summer stag and hen parties, and corporate events.

Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes is ten minutes from central Saint-Malo and 45 minutes from Rennes via the N137. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: the walled city of Saint-Malo, the Sillon beach, the port of Cancale and its oysters, Mont Saint-Michel an hour away, or a detour to Dinan and the Rance. A solid option for holidaymakers in northern Brittany looking for a motorsport break between two walks on the Saint-Malo beaches.
