About Dinard in Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany

Dinard

The apartment has a unique situation - although located  at the heart of Dinard with the open-air market a 2-minute walk away, the main beach a 5-10 minute stroll away and shops/restaurants in abundance,  its quiet residential street and  secluded enclosed courtyard offers peace and tranquillity - a welcome interlude from the many activities and amenities which are yours to choose from.  

Eating - in or out? The choice is yours.

If you wish to cook for yourself, why not treat yourself to the unique experience of shopping at the traditional open-air market just a two-minute walk down the road, or take advantage of the local well-stocked supermarket, just round the corner from the apartment?

Of course, you may prefer to choose from the large selection of cafés/restaurants, which are only a 5-10 min. walk away.

This unique seaside resort, with its magnificent buildings and charming ambience, enjoys a lovely setting at the mouth of the river Rance, directly opposite Saint Malo. The possibilities of its fine sheltered beaches, and the attraction of the scenery, were first realised by an American about 1850, and were developed by the British. With the influx of tourists, a small fishing village on the site grew rapidly into a spacious town, as hotels and villas, gardens and parks, were planned and constructed.

The main beach (la Plage de l'écluse) lies in a safe, sandy bay where, apart from the fine beach, you will also find the casino, an indoor heated salt-water swimming pool and several cafés/bars. Walks can be taken from here in both directions along the coastline, providing you with wonderful panoramas of sea and landscape.

To the left you will reach Saint Enogat, which has its own fine beach. To the right, you will come across the Promenade au Clair de Lune, a walk along the seawall following the water's edge until it reaches the Plage du Prieuré (Priory Beach), so called from the 14th century priory, of which a few ruins can still be seen.

Near La Page du Prieuré there is a charming mini golf course and a beautiful park, Port Breton, which has a "chateau" in the centre and offers a keep-fit track for the more energetically-inclined.

Exploring the Surrounding Area

There are many interesting and historical places to visit within a short distance of Dinard, making it an ideal base for discovering North Brittany. Here are but a few:

The impressive walled town of St Malo, a mere 10-minute boat-trip away, or 20 mins. car journey; Mont Saint Michel, less than 50 minutes away by car; the beautiful mediaeval town of Dinan, less than a half-hour away by car; the coastline to the West of Dinard, strewn with beautiful beaches; Jersey and Guernsey, which are a short ferry crossing away; Cancale, the renowned fishing village and seafood centre, less than half an hour away.

You will find other suggested outings in an information folder at the apartment and the well-stocked Tourist Information Centre can easily be visited on your walk down to the beach.
