Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
Historic Dinan, high on the hill, with its three ancient monasteries and picturesque old Port below has been a town of traders, craftsmen and fairs since the Middle Ages... today, the perfect location to explore the history, culture and customs of this unspoiled region of France. Take a leisurely walk along the winding towpath by the river Rance to the ruins of the oldest castle in Brittany or discover the quaint stone villages and old mills tucked away in the scenic Val de la Rance. Brittany's beaches, romantic islands and the Pink Granite Coast are just minutes to the north. One of our favourite spots is the colourful fishing village, Cancale, famous for seafood, especially mussels! Historic Dinan, it's picturesque Old Port and the beautiful Rance Valley attract over a half million visitors each year, second only to Mont St. Michel! |

We are so glad we chose to stay in Dinan and your beautiful villa so that our children could have total emersion and practice their French on the locals! They absolutely loved it (not sure about the locals!). Thank you, we'll be back.

We found your villa to be a delight. Everything was nearby, restaurants, shops and such friendly people! We used our car for day trips and were glad you had parking. The "Le Cottage" restaurant you recommended was excellent and great value. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
