Saint-Servan

Saint-Servan (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ sɛʁvɑ̃]; often abbreviated as St. Servan; Breton: Sant-Servan) is a town of western France, in Brittany, situated 2 miles from the ferry port of Saint-Malo.

In June 1758, during the Seven Years' War, British troops captured Saint-Servan as part of the Raid on St Malo.

A trolleybus service to Saint Malo was introduced that year by Tracteurs Electrique Bretons.

Originally, the area was known as Aleth, whose first bishop was the 5th century Saint Malo.

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.
