Saint-Malo (({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃ malo|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Benoit Rochon-Saint-Malo.wav}})) is a municipality in Quebec, Canada, on the Canada–United States border. Saint-Malo has the highest elevation of any municipality in Quebec. At {{convert|640|m|ft}}, local residents live in an environment of forests, farms, and waterways that supply their livelihood.
Every September, Saint-Malo holds a Harvest Festival that includes a "country" mass. A popular point of interest is La Montagnaise, a {{convert|10|m|ft}}-tall observation tower built in 1995, that offers panoramic views of the countryside.
History
The parish of Saint-Malo was established in 1863 by Canadiens and was incorporated as a municipality in 1910. The town's name evokes Saint-Malo, France— the hometown in Brittany of Jacques Cartier, the first European explorer to describe and map modern Quebec and to name his discoveries as "Canada".
