Demeure De Corsaire

About

The Demeure de Corsaire, also known as Hôtel Magon, is a stunning 18th‑century private mansion located in the heart of historic Saint‑Malo. Once the home of famed corsair François‑Auguste Magon de la Lande, the building now offers visitors a portal to the age of maritime adventure and French colonial trade. Guided tours lead guests through vaulted salons, secret passageways, and preserved ceremonial rooms, while a knowledgeable guide narrates remarkable stories of the corsair’s exploits. In addition to tours, the estate hosts corporate events, weddings, and family celebrations in its grand halls and charming courtyards. Visitors enjoy a blend of cultural heritage, interactive storytelling, and an unbeatable location within walking distance of the city’s iconic fortifications, restaurants, and beaches. Whether you’re a history buff, a family seeking an educational outing, or a solo traveler craving an immersive experience, the Demeure de Corsaire promises an unforgettable journey through the past. Guided tours typically last around two hours, allowing time for a leisurely stroll through the mansion’s richly decorated rooms and a deeper dive into the lore of the corsaires. Seasonally, the estate offers extended hours in summer, with midday and early afternoon sessions to accommodate the spring, summer, and early autumn crowds. Visitors during peak months are encouraged to arrive early, as the venue can become crowded during the high‑season window. In addition to public tours, the Demeure de Corsaire remains a popular venue for weddings and corporate gatherings, offering a unique blend of history, elegance, and modern amenities. Contact the staff to discuss custom event packages and explore the many event spaces that can accommodate up to 600 guests.
