Bretagne Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Bretagne in France.
Brittany in the rugged west of France features picturesque old towns, castles and fortresses plus austere mediaeval cathedrals. Nostalgia and romantic harbour villages still exist here and it is also a land of menhirs and fishermen.Rennes is the capital of the region and it is here that our journey through Brittany begins. It is a small town in which both mediaeval and classical buildings stand side by side. In 1720 a disastrous fire that raged for seven days destroyed a number of historic houses. Several crooked, partly renovated frame-work houses are situated in the alleys of the old town, their carved windows and oriels create a medieval atmosphere. Thirty two kilometres south is Vitré, a picture postcard town with a city wall, narrow lanes and a castle. English troops besieged the town for many years until the lords of the castle finally paid a large ransom for their freedom. Le Mont Saint Michel with its historic buildings is located on an eighty metre high granite mound and is like something from a fairytale. Powerful fortifications surround the small town and the abbey at the top of the rock. Due to its unique location and architectural splendour this picturesque village is often referred to as the Wonder Of The Occident. Dinan is a small enchanting French town on the banks of the Rance is one of the most beautiful and well preserved mediaeval towns in Brittany. The western part of France has many faces and Brittany truly is a land of myths, castles, fishing villages and historic old towns.

Places to see in ( Dinan - France )
Dinan is a town in Brittany, northwest France. It’s known for its medieval ramparts, cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses. Dinan Castle has a 14th-century keep and the Tour du Coëtquen, a 15th-century artillery tower. The grand, Gothic-style Saint-Malo Church has vibrant stained-glass windows. The Clock Tower offers panoramic views. The Rail Museum has model railways, plus posters and signal boxes.
Dinan is without doubt one of the most attractive and best preserved small towns in Brittany. With its 1.8 mile (3km)-long ramparts, half-timbered houses, attractive port and cobbled streets filled with art galleries and craft shops, it’s worth a day of anyone’s time.
The most attractive part of Dinan is arguably its port, which is where you’ll arrive if you take a boat from Dinard or St Malo. The quay is lined with old stone houses, many of which are now waterside restaurants and chandlers’ shops. Take a walk along the old towpath or cross the 15th-century stone bridge to Lanvallay to find out about life on the river in the Maison de la Rance discovery centre. Wherever you are, you won’t miss the 131ft (40m)-high viaduct.
From the port, make your way up the steep Rue du Petit-Fort, which was Dinan’s main point of access until the 18th century. This cobbled hill with its half-timbered houses appears on many a postcard; have a browse in the arts and crafts shops. Dinan has been designated a Ville d’Art et d’Histoire (Town of Art and History) and the town is filled with artists, sculptors, engravers, bookbinders, glassblowers and more.
Dinan’s old town is a warren of narrow streets where it appears that time has stood still. The quaintest part is Place des Merciers where you’ll find the best examples of the town’s half-timbered houses; just opposite is the pedestrianised Rue de la Cordonnerie, also known as ‘thirsty street’ as it has nine bars.
To get your bearings, climb the 158 steps to the top of the 40m (132ft)-high Tour de l’Horloge for wonderful views over Dinan and the surrounding area – you can see as far as Mont St Michel on a clear day. Nearby Place du Guesclin is the site of the Thursday-morning market.
The 13th-century castle now houses the town’s museum and this is the best place to start a tour of the magnificent ramparts, 8804ft (2684m) long, which are the oldest and most impressive in Brittany. Dinan holds the Fête des Remparts medieval festival each July.
( Dinan - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Dinan . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Dinan - France

Dinan Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Dinan in France.
Dinan is a small enchanting French town on the banks of the Rance and is one of the most beautiful and well preserved medieval towns in Brittany. Today, cobbled lanes and several half-timbered buildings highlight the town’s colourful history and in 1066 many of Dinan´s inhabitants took part in the Norman Conquest and the Hundred Years´ War also left its traces here. However, despite its battles and sieges the picturesque old town has survived to the present day and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Brittany. The town´s defences were constructed in the 14th century. A circular wall, two and a half kilometres long, protected the inhabitants of Dinan from hostile attack. Due to its well planned defences the town remained untouched and even today it’s like stepping back into the Middle Ages.

Saint Malo, Brittany - France 4K Travel Channel
Saint Malo lies at the Emerald Coast at the Channel in the north of Brittany at the mouth of the river Rance. The river is divided by the largest tidal power plant in Europe, with a capacity of 240 MW. By 2011 it was the largest in the world. On the opposite riverbank is seaside resort of Dinard.
Under the walls of the city lies the Gallo-Roman settlement Aleth, the first settlement in this area. The monk Malo, the eponymous for Saint Malo, began the evangelization of the residents in the 6th century. Around 1140 the mighty city walls were built.
In the 16th century, the city gained a considerable prosperity by fishing and trading but also by piracy. Famous is the Corsair Robert Surcouf, who sat down with 35 years of peace. At the time, even its own republic was proclaimed.
About 85 percent of the walled city (intra muros, inside the city walls) of Saint Malo was destroyed by bombings in 1944. The reconstruction was carried out as true to the original as possible.
Today, Saint Malo is not only one of the most visited tourist sites in France, but also a successful industrial city, however, industry is only be found outside the city walls.
Our tour starts in the north of the city. During low tide you can reach the barrier island with its fortresses on foot. The tide is 12 m here and releases spacious sandy beaches at low tide.
Most of the shops and restaurants are in the eastern part. Here, the lanes are filled with tourists. A little market invites the people to watch the activities of artists and craftsmen.
Outside the city walls is the enclosed port, protecting the ships from the tides. Even wealthy Arabs dock with their impressive yachts here. The smaller of the two luxury yachts also belongs to Dubai, even if she sails under a South African flag.
To the south lies the outer harbor. The mighty landing stages testify to the height of the tidal range, which is 12 m here.
It is noon and we watch the elderly, who play comfortably, however, full of enthusiasm Boule bretonne.

Saint Malo liegt an der Smaragd-Küste am Ärmelkanal im Norden der Bretagne an der Mündung des Flusses Rance. Der Fluss wird durchtrennt vom größten Gezeitenkraftwerk Europas mit 240 MW Leistung. Bis 2011 war es das größte weltweit. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Flussufer ist der Badeort Dinard.
Unter den Mauern der Stadt befindet sich die gallo-römische Siedlung Aleth, die erste Siedlung in dieser Gegend. Der Mönch Machutus, der namensgebend für Saint Malo wurde, begann mit der Missionierung der Bewohner im 6. Jahrhundert. Um 1140 wurden die mächtigen Stadtmauern errichtet.
Im 16. Jahrhundert erlangte die Stadt durch Fischfang und Handel erheblichen Wohlstand, aber auch durch Piraterie. Berühmt wurde der Korsar Robert Surcouf, der sich mit 35 Jahren zur Ruhe setzte. Damals wurde sogar eine eigene Republik ausgerufen.
1944 wurde der historische Stadtkern (intra muros, innerhalb der Stadtmauern) von Saint Malo zu etwa 85 Prozent durch Bombardierungen zerstört. Der Wiederaufbau erfolgte so originalgetreu wie möglich.
Heute ist Saint Malo nicht nur einer der meistbesuchten Touristenorte Frankreichs, sondern auch eine erfolgreiche Industriestadt, Die Industrie ist aber nur außerhalb der Stadtmauern angesiedelt.
Unser Rundgang beginnt im Norden der Stadt. Da Ebbe ist kann man die vorgelagerten Insel mit ihren Festungen zu Fuß erreichen. Die Tide beträgt hier 12 m und gibt bei Ebbe weitläufige Sandstrände frei.
Im östlichen Teil befinden sich die meisten der Geschäfte und Restaurants. Hier sind die Gassen gefüllt mit Touristen. Ein kleiner Markt lädt die Menschen ein, Künstlern und Handwerkern bei ihren Tätigkeiten zuzusehen.
Vor den Stadtmauern befindet sich der abgeschlossene Hafen, der die Schiffe vor den Gezeiten schützt. Auch reiche Araber legen hier mit ihren imposanten Yachten an. Auch die kleinere der beiden Luxusyachten gehört Dubai, auch wenn sie unter südafrikanischer Flagge fährt.
Im Süden liegt der äußere Hafen. Die mächtigen Gewerke zeugen von der Höhe des Tidenhubs, der hier 12 m beträgt.
Es ist Mittag und wir beobachten die Älteren, die gemütlich aber voller Eifer „Boule bretonne“ spielen.
