Dinard

Dinard

Dinard, across the estuary, was a favourite haunt of the English aristocracy in the 19th century, establishing a tennis and a golf club for their amusement.

The old stylish villas give the town a touch of class and extravagance, earning the name "Nice of the North".

The sandy beaches are ideal for children and there are some good walks around the bay, with stunning views, taking in the Claire de Lune walkway which is illuminated during the season. A couple of relaxing hours can be spent taking a boat up the river Rance to medieval Dinan. Weekly market days are Thursdays and Saturdays.
