Brittany Towns  Brittany must surely be characterised by its quaint seaside towns and fishing villages which are credit enough to the area, but more than this, it is blessed with such fantastic jewels as St Malo with its splendid walled old town; Lorient with it's fishing port, beach and Celtic music festival; and Rennes, the regions capital with its huge Saturday market.  St Malo is our personal favourite.

Dinan:
 

Location: On the N176, south of St Malo.

General Info:  Office du Tourisme website.
Description: Dinan is a beautiful town which could be easy to overlook as you rush to or from  St Malo.  The old town of Dinan is a maze of narrow cobblestone streets and old medieval timbered buildings..

Our recommendations: Three streets are especially worth seeing: the steep Rue du Jerzual which links the port with the old town, the Place des Cordeliers and Place des Merciers. There are some nice little restaurants along the wharf and very pleasant walks alongside the river Rance.  And there are great views of the port and the huge viaduct from the Jardin Anglais.  Also worth a visit for its splendid views is the Tour de l’Horloge.
For the children: They will enjoy a visit to the castle which is located in the centre of town, as well as a walk around the ramparts..  Alternatively take a boat ride from the port across the river to St Malo.
