MH 2024 will take place in the Palais du Grand Large (Saint-Malo, France) from May 26th to 31st, 2024.
Before the bombings of August 1944, which destroyed 80% of the inner city, the Casino de Saint Malo was located on the site of the Palais du Grand Large.
It was rebuilt in 1954 in its present form and in 1984, at the instigation of the mayor of the time, was transformed into the Palais des Congrès.
Corsair city, capital of the sea, jewel of the Emerald Coast… whatever the qualifiers attributed to it, Saint-Malo has always been, throughout its history, the meeting place of all adventures, of all dreams…
The city occupies a privileged place in Brittany. Located at the northern tip of Ille-et-Vilaine, on the edge of Normandy and a stone’s throw from Mont Saint-Michel, Saint-Malo is also a springboard to the Channel Islands and England.
A place of history and legends, cradle of illustrious characters, the city has managed, despite dark hours, to retain the authenticity conferred by its ramparts, cobblestones and old stones. Proud of a rich past, the renowned seaside resort remains a modern city always looking to the future…

Travel Information
The most convenient option to reach Saint Malo would be to fly to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). From there, you can find a train to Saint Malo with one connection in Rennes (3h30-4h trip), but there are only 2 trains with these reasonable journey times one at 8:50 am and one à 12:20 pm. This way, you won’t have to take public transportation in Paris, which could be affected by some disruptions.
Alternatively, you can fly to Paris-Orly or CDG and then go to Paris Montparnasse (train station) to take a direct train to Saint Malo or with a connection to Rennes. If you choose this option, you must take public transport through Paris. For this option, please ensure you have enough time for your connection. If you are planning to take a short touristic trip to visit Paris, this could be the best solution.
Please book your train ticket here. The train ticket may not be available for booking till aprox. 3 months before the departure date. You should be able to book it after ca. February 15th
