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.

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.

Places to see in ( Dinard - France )
Places to see in ( Dinard - France )
Walking around Dinard, with its Belle Époque villas and stripy beach tents, is like taking a trip back to the 19th century. The most British of Brittany’s resorts is popular with families who are attracted by its sandy beaches and coastal walks. Nearby St-Briac and St-Lunaire are also worth a visit.
Made popular by British and American visitors in the 19th century, Dinard was France’s top summer resort until the French Riviera took over in the 1930s. The former fishing village attracted wealthy celebrities and businessmen as well as European royalty, some of whom built fabulous villas; there are now more than 400 listed buildings in the town. The tourist office runs guided tours on several themes including ‘the English touch’ and there’s a British film festival in October.
Dinard has several beaches, which range from small coves to long expanses of sand. The jewel in the crown of this Emerald Coast resort is Place de l’Écluse, which is instantly recognisable in season by its rows of stripy tents; from June to September the beach organises gym classes and kids’ clubs and many other activities. The Plage de St-Enogat is the place to go for water sports.
Dinard continues to be an upmarket resort and many well-heeled tourists choose to spend their evenings at the swish casino after spending the day in the thalassotherapy spa. However, the Promenade Clair de Lune, a lovely waterside walk illuminated in July and August, whose palms and lush tropical plants recall the Mediterranean, shows that the best things in life are often free.
The GR34 old customs officer’s path passes through Dinard and a trip on foot to St-Lunaire, a favourite resort of rich Parisians and French film stars, makes an interesting day out. The village has some nice sandy beaches, an 11th-century Romanesque church and the area of Le Décollé offers sweeping views over the coast as far as Cap Fréhel. Keen golfers should head further west again to St-Briac-sur-Mer for its waterside 18-hole course, which is said to be one of Europe’s most beautiful.
Dinard is on the coast of north-eastern Brittany, across the Rance Estuary from Saint-Malo. The origins of Dinard as a fishing village were first pushed aside at the end of the 19th century, when the rich and fashionable of the time built their luxury houses here. Dinard is affected by the warm gulf stream so has an unexpectedly mild climate for the region.
By the end of the 19th century Dinard was considered to be France’s no. 1 seaside resort and was the place to go and be seen by the rich and famous. As a result of its 19th century popularity Dinard now has lots of attractive villas and houses and because of their very individual and eclectic style many of them are protected buildings.France.
There are three pleasant beaches in the town, which are also the starting point for nice walks along the coastline, and there are several other nice sandy beaches nearby. The beaches in the centre of Dinard are the Plage de Saint-Enogat, where you can see the most imposing villas, and the Plage de l'ecluse, which has the most facilities and activities. Just a little further the Plage du Port Blanc has less amenities but tends to be quieter than the more central beaches. If you only have time to head one way out of town along the coast, head east for the views at the end of the headland called Moulinet Point (the eastern end of the plage de l'ecluse). From here you get magnificent views of St Malo across the water. Along the way admire the sumptuous villas built to enjoy the sea views.

France has a striking diversity of landscapes, from the snowcapped peak of Mont Blanc to the deep blue seas of the Mediterranean. Every region offers inspiring hikes, with trails ranging from easy to advanced, that are sure to impress. Be awed by the alpine scenery in the Chamonix Valley while hiking past glaciers and wildflowers. Amble the country lanes of Alsace to discover storybook hamlets nestled in the rolling hills, or walk from one ancient hilltop village to another in the rugged Luberon Mountains of Provence. Modern-day pilgrims can follow in the footsteps of medieval Christians on the Camino de Santiago trail in the Pyrenees, and history buffs can trace the WWI battlefield sites along the Normandy coast. For the most dazzling seaside panoramas, hike from the beautiful perched village of Eze on the French Riviera to the peaceful beaches of Eze-sur-Mer. One of the most legendary trails on the list is the GR20 in Corsica, but it is only advised for well-trained hikers, whereas anyone could enjoy the gentle nature walk at the Cirque de Gavarnie to admire soaring granite rock walls and marvelous waterfalls.
