	Saint-Malo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint-Malo during the Middle Ages was a fortified island at the mouth of the Rance River, controlling not only the estuary but the open sea beyond.
		In later centuries it became notorious as the home of a fierce breed of pirate-mariners, who were never quite under anyone's control but their own; for 4 years from 1590, Saint-Malo even declared itself to be an independent republic.
		The promontory fort of Alet, south of the modern centre in what is now the Saint-Servan district, commanded approaches to the Rance even before the Romans, but modern Saint-Malo traces its origins to a monastic settlement founded by Saint Aaron and Saint Brendan early in the 6th century.

	Channel Island Cattle
		The Channel Islands are situated in the English Channel west of Normandy and north of St. Malo in Brittany, ALderney, the northernmost of these Islands, is seven miles from the coast of France, whence the inhabitants were long accustomed to procure their grain, flour and provisions in small boats.
		Channel Island farmers were unwilling to reduce their prices, and the final result was that shipment of cattle from France to Jersey and Guernsey - a trade which had long existed unrestrained by law - was forbidden by a Jersey statute of 1789 and by a Guernsey statute of 1819.
		Channel Island cows, like cows of the neighboring province, were of the Norman or French race and as good for use in London dairies as were the cows sent from Normandy for use in Paris dairies, and, when milk production began to shrink, were fattened for the butcher.

		The Island of Aix, often called Island Dais or Island of Ay in a distant past, has the shape of a green and sand crescent with a slightly marked relief which stretches on 130 hectares with beaches, creeks and rocks.
		The History of the Island of Aix and of the people who have trodden its soil, is tightly tied to our national history, to its greatness as well as to its dramas.
		This period cannot eradicate the other great historical moments which are often little known or forgotten: from the prestigious epoch of the Cluny monks to the sinister days of the Convention, from Saint Malo to Montalembert and Choderlos de Laclos, from Condé to Lafayette, from the conquest of colonies to the detention of Ben Bella.
