Dinan

Probably one of our favourite places in Brittany was the picturesque town of Dinan. Every corner was charming, filled with street side cafes, half timbered houses, lots of quaint little shops, and it didn’t hurt that the weather was so FAB the day we visited.

Originally, Dinan was a feudal town located at the intersection of a land route and water route on the Rance. Merchants brought their wares through Dinan, so the town became inevitably linked with wealth, prosperity, and much protection by its ramparts and fortified city.

On this day, we just strolled about taking it all in….
