Saint-Malo was in the past notorious for piracy; today it is a major tourist destination, with many ancient, attractive buildings. The population of Saint-Malo quadruples during the summer, when vacationers head up to the beaches of Brittany. But besides the sun and the sea, there are so many things to see - walled old town, magnificent cathedral, great aquarium, as well as few national parks in the surroundings.

The town is shaped by a narrow valley between the rock and the river Meuse, stretching from North to South along the shore. It became wealthy because of agricultural opportunities presented by the fertile of the land on the plateau that overlooks it, as well as by the limestone of the cliffs themselves. Military architecture fans would admire the 11th-century built citadel, while gastronomy maniacs would appreciate special quiche dinantaise and couque, Europe's hardest biscuit. Dinant was also a hometown of Adolphe Sax, inventor of saxophone.

Old town of Koblenz was always shaped as a triangular - two sides of which are rivers Rhine and Mosel, while the third side was a line of fortifications. This strategic location was appreciated back in 8BC by Romans when they established a military post - thus, citizens celebrated 2000th of anniversary in 1992. Remains of Roman-built bridge can still be found. Most fortifications were gone after 1890 but citadel of Ehrenbreitstein still overlooks the town from another bank of the Rhine. The town is an important centre of the Mosel and Rhenish wine trade.
