St Malo - border entry

[Caladh]

We intend to visit the CI's and then head to St Malo and enter France in St Servain marina. I have Googled etc but can find no information about customs requirements for St Malo. I understand visitor berths are scarce and I also can't find the French entry form on the St Malo port website. I am obviously not the only person who is trying/has dome this. Can I ask forumites who have done this trip for advise please. Thanks.

I did this a few weeks ago. It's not easy to find the information but once you know the procedure is relatively straightforward.

The entry form can be found here: https://www.douane.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/2022-07/11/formulaire-immigration.pdf

You'll need to go to the border police office to get passports stamped which is next to the ferry terminal. You need to go through the vehicle entrance rather than the passenger terminal to find it: 48°38'29.1"N 2°01'24.3"W · 35400 Saint-Malo, France

It’s a very easy process, take your passport and boat registration doc (SSR) to the orange PAF building (not the Duanne shed at the entrance) then ring the bottom doorbell. They’ll come and stamp you in. Learn the French for arrival, departure, and the place you’re going next. That’s all they wanted to know from us. Departing for England was all we said he nodded and when he returned we had stamps.

Thanks to both straws and lustyd. It’ll only be me doing the passport thing as my wife has an Irish passport. Can the arrival/dep form be emailed ?
