In Saint-Malo, the Manoir de la Giclais belongs to a type of mansion known as a malouinière, built by wealthy shipowning families in the late 17th century. Its granite façade, flanked by short wings and extended by matching outbuildings, recalls the Magon family and later the Surcoufs, who took ownership after 1807. Some panelling and panoramic wallpaper from the First Empire period survive inside, having outlasted the Revolution, when the house was turned into a stable.
