The island of Cézembre presents a pleasant sand beach to the south, but is otherwise rimed with rocks along its shores. Formerly Cézembre was connected to its southern neighbor, Saint-Malo, by low ground. In 1438, however, this land-bridge was forever covered with the ocean.

On the island of Cézembre was built a Vault dedicated to Saint-Brandan built in 1420 per Raoul Boisserel priest in Saint-Malo. The island was successively inhabited by hermits and in 1468, by a colony of Cordeliers of the Observance who built there a Monastery visited in 1518 per François 1st. Charles IX and Catherine de Médicis would have also gone there. In 1523 the hermits leave Cézembre and 1612 to 1693 they are Récollets which occupies the island strengthened by Vauban in 1696.

At the time of the corsairs, Cézembre became a lazaret and a warehouse of suspect goods. In the enclosure of the old convent of Cordeliers, from which the buildings fell in ruins, the navy made build hangars, quarters and the office of health arranged them, after a fashion, to receive patients; the regulations were severe; of any suspect boat "of contagion" were unloaded the powders, the artifices and the cartridges; one joined together them in the antique vault devoted to Saint-Brandan; the goods were, as much as making could be, discharged from the ships; thus in January 1721, the rich person cargoes of three buildings, Suzanne, the Louis Charles and the Jean the Chaplain, were unloaded in Cézembre: They were especially made up of invaluable fabrics and soft carpets of wool "more particularly active to propagate the plague". They were burned. The ships, emptied and "perfumés" i.e. disinfected, then, were driven in the wearing of Saint-Malo, or one immersed them close to the Spur, during several tides in order to be well purified.

As of July 1942 the island is strongly strengthened by the Germans. Guns of 194, of a range of 15 Kms, are installed as well as guns of 150 mm then anti-aircraft guns...
