Discover the medieval city of Dinan
Nestled on the banks of the Rance River, Dinan is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Brittany.
With its well-preserved ramparts, half-timbered houses, and cobbled streets, this town of art and history offers an authentic journey into the past.
Whether you're a fan of heritage, picturesque walks, or local gastronomy, you'll be captivated by the medieval town of Dinan.
Dinan immediately impresses with its imposing ramparts, the longest in Brittany, stretching for nearly 3 kilometers.
Stroll along these fortifications and admire the panoramic view of the town and the Rance Valley. In July, don't miss the Ramparts Festival, which takes you back to the time of fortified castles.
Dinan Castle, once the residence of the Dukes of Brittany, now houses a museum tracing local history.
During your visit, you'll also discover the Basilica of Saint-Sauveur, whose architecture blends Romanesque and Gothic influences, as well as the Church of Saint-Malo, another jewel of Dinan's religious heritage.
Getting lost in Dinan's maze of cobbled streets is one of the must-see attractions for exploring Dinan.
Then walk down the famous Rue du Jerzual, which connects the upper town to the port below. Many artists, including sculptors, glassblowers, and painters, open their studios here.
Below the city, the port of Dinan offers a peaceful atmosphere. Follow the Rance River on foot or by boat to the charming little town of Léhon. Several hiking trails depart from this location, allowing you to explore the neighboring villages.
A Gourmet and Authentic Stopover
After a morning of exploring, a gourmet break is a must.
Dinan is full of traditional crêperies where you can enjoy a Breton galette accompanied by local cider.
Why not also try a delicious kouign-amann, another melt-in-the-mouth, caramelized Breton specialty?
The Hôtel du Lac in Combourg is located on the waterfront at the foot of Combourg Castle.
Enjoy this true haven of peace close to Dinan, Dinard, Rennes, Saint-Malo, and Mont Saint-Michel.
Make yourself comfortable in one of our 28 rooms and admire the view of the lake or the castle.
