Saint-Malo () is a municipality in Quebec, Canada, on the Canada–United States border. Saint-Malo has the highest elevation of any municipality in Quebec. At 640 metres (2,100 ft), local residents live in an environment of forests, farms, and waterways that supply their livelihood.
Every September, Saint-Malo holds a Harvest Festival that includes a "country" mass. A popular point of interest is La Montagnaise, a 10 metres (33 ft)-tall observation tower built in 1995, that offers panoramic views of the countryside.
History
The parish of Saint-Malo was established in 1863 by Canadiens and was incorporated as a municipality in 1910. The town's name evokes Saint-Malo, France— the hometown in Brittany of Jacques Cartier, the first European explorer to describe and map modern Quebec and to name his discoveries as "Canada".
