The IIOT Summer school will take place in Saint Malo, Bretagne, France. This medieval city on the northern coast of brittany has a past rich in naval stories and buccaneering legends. It saw the birth of many famous french sailors such as Robert Surcouf, Jean-Baptiste Charcot or Jacques Cartier.

 

The city's medieval walls, who had to be partially restored after WW2, are themselves an attraction, and allow for a worth sighting tour. More informations about the citadel and the surrounding beaches and places of interest can be found on the following page.
