We were in Dinan at the beginning of September. A pleasant city to visit, a step back several centuries, a historic city. Visit not to be missed. We will come back next year, we could not, for lack of time, deepen our visit.

Hello, I am from the department of Ain and I discovered your region last summer. I loved DINAN. We close our eyes and we are transported to the Middle Ages. The half-timbered houses, the ramparts, the castle... Du Glesclin, Anne de Bretagne, the weaver... It's teeming in the cobbled streets, towards the stalls... And then, we wake up. It is no longer the same decor but the imposing stone constructions, treasures of time, stand before us. If only they could tell us! But in DINAN ... everything is organized to discover its history and its tourism. Do not hesitate to go to the tourist office. They are at your entire disposal. This charming medieval town dominates the RANCE river. The view is splendid! The city is clean, the merchants and inhabitants are charming. We walk, we stroll, we rest there. I loved. We cannot be disappointed. Thanks.
