Dinan

France
Dinan
  • Head to Place des Cordeliers and Place des Merciers to shop and dine. Both are lined by crooked historic buildings propped up by arched wooden arcades now filled with shops and cafés.
  • This atmospheric town is a photographer's delight, especially from the Ste-Catherine scenic overlook.
  • To learn about the town’s history, stop into the museum housed in the remains of the 14th-century keep of the local castle that has information sheets in English.
  • The flat countryside outside of Dinan is a popular spot for scenic bike rides along the Ille-et-Rance canal.
  • The cobblestone streets can make getting around Dinan with a stroller or wheelchair challenging, but much of the old town is pedestrian and accessible.
