Dinan in Brittany is a charming riverside town, full of medieval history, with a 13th century castle and ramparts that encircle this well-preserved sanctuary where time has stood still. Wander through Dinan's narrow cobbled streets, lined with pretty half-timber houses, and discover the Flamboyant Gothic St Malo church, the Basilica of St Saveur and the 40m high Tour de l'Horloge (clock tower). Climb the 158 steps to the top for some fantastic views of the town and surrounding area. For even better views, why not take a walk along the ramparts, which, at nearly 2.7km long, are the oldest and most impressive in Brittany? In July the Fête des Remparts (Feast of the Ramparts) takes place, a marvellous festival recreating life in medieval times with street celebrations, a market and a jousting tournament and many people dressed in medieval costume. The Château de Dinan is now a museum dedicated to the town's history and Dinan's famous hero, Bertrand du Guesclin, a Breton knight who became a military commander during the Hundred Years' War is remembered with 4 different memorials across the town. In 1357 the English laid seige to the town but it resisted. When Thomas Canterbury kidnapped Guesclin's brother he settled the matter by single combat in the Place Champs Clos opposite the Place Dugesclin, wich is named after him and where today you will find the town market on a Thursday morning.

Nous avons passé un long week-end très agréable dans ce gîte très confortable, très bien équipé et que nous avons trouvé "cosy" et chaleureux.
Très chaleureux accueil des propriétaires et nous avons été très bien conseillés pour les sites d'intérêt de la région.
Gite très bien situé pour visiter la région : Dinan, St Malo, Dinard, le Mont Saint Michel...
Nous regrettons de n'avoir pas pu profiter du jardin privatif à cause de la météo.
Merci à Jacques et son épouse pour leur chaleureux accueil et les échanges intéressants sur des tranches de vie à Sainte Mère l'Eglise et le débarquement en Normandie.
Nous y retournerons volontiers et recommandons vivement ce gite.
