Exploring Dinan - Brittany, France
Dinan captures medieval character with charm, and very little tourist hype. The buildings, bastions and churches are genuine, and have been authentically restored. Some of these buildings date from the 13th century. Large segments of the city walls remain, and can be explored via a path around the town.
We stayed at the bottom of town, at the river Port. You can also stay in the upper town area - either way there are lots of ups and downs when you explore this town, but the sights are worth the climb either way.
Dinan is a walled Breton town and a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in northwestern France. Its geographical setting is exceptional. Instead of nestling on the valley floor like Morlaix, most urban development has been on the hillside, overlooking the river Rance. The area alongside the River Rance is known as the port of Dinan and is connected to the town by the steep streets Rue Jerzual and its continuation outside the walls the Rue de Petit Fort.

France Travel Attractions - Rohan Castle in Pontivy
Take a tour of Rohan Castle in Pontivy, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
In the rustic yet charming French town of Pontivy rests a beautiful medieval castle.
One of the most influential and dominant families of the town, the Rohan family, built this majestic structure, aptly named Rohan Castle.
It is said that this imposing structure was built to establish the superiority of the Rohan clan in Brittany.
Finished by the late 15th century, it became one of the finest examples of Breton military architecture.
Spread over acres of lush green land in the vicinity of River Blavet, this medieval castle is reminiscent of the authoritative medieval France.
Owned by the Josselin family, the castle today hosts various cultural exhibitions and events.
Episode 2 - The best of France's western coast …and beyond to Spain
In our second clip of the Haven Knox-Johnston series, John and his team set off on his boat Cecienne along the Atlantic coast of France with its amazing ports and harbours.
The first stop is the thriving and picturesque city of La Rochelle, in the Poitou Charente’s region. Steeped in history, with many museums, medieval houses and renaissance architecture (not forgetting an abundance of shops), La Rochelle offers a great taste of what can be expected from an ideal all year round destination.
The Ile de Re, an island just off the west coast, is the next destination. The island has retained a laid back Gallic charm lost from many mainland regions. Once there, you can rent all types of vehicles to really explore and enjoy all the island has to offer.
Looking to follow the sun further south, Capbreton, located at the mouth of the Boudigau and Bourret rivers in the very South West of France, is a fantastic destination as well as a surfers’ paradise. Hendaye is the last destination before entering Spanish waters. Both Capbreton and Hendaye have great marinas for winter cruising. If you're thinking about taking your boat abroad this winter - here's some inspiration!
