It was previous the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Malo until 1146. This particular church has tons of historical significance and is a wonderful site to see. If you’re into photography and you want to explore the history of France through a series of photographs then the Musee Nicephore Niepce would be the right place for you.  You can view many different photos of the evolution of France and the history.However, if you prefer a more hands on approach and to see actual artifacts as well as art and history up close and personal, then I strongly suggest you go to, Musee Denon which is a French museum full of artifacts, archaeology, arts, and the history of France. Or you could just explore all three.
