Saint-Malo architecture owes a large gratitude to Chausey islands granite.
Without the contributions of this small archipelago, the city would not have reached its architectural magnificence, not only in the defensive works, but also in the port infrastructures and the habitat.
After WW2, for the reconstruction of the city of Saint-Malo, if appeal was still made to Chausey islands granite (it is reported that three boats could carry each week 125 tons of stone from Chausey to Saint-Malo), several other continental granites were widely used: Lanhélin in one hand and Le Hinglé, Brusvily and Languédias, all three from the Dinan pluton, in the other hand.
Anyway, the rebuilding of the city in the middle of the 20th century - at the time of concrete - was a great victory for granite stone (Louis Chauris) !
