Saint-Servan
Saint-Servan is a town of western France, in Brittany, situated 2 miles from the ferry port of St Malo.
It is renowned for its lovely shops and restaurants. Its population in 1906 was 1,965. The commune of Saint-Servan was merged, together with Paramé, into the commune of Saint-Malo in 1967. Originally, the area was known as Aleth and it was for this settlement that the 5th century Saint Malo was elected the first bishop.
Today, Catholic pilgrims can visit the House of the Cross at Saint-Servan where Saint Jeanne Jugan performed her charitable works for the Little Sisters of the Poor.[1]
