DINAN.,,, this year is the Fetes du Remaprts festival NOTE, (the apartments will be offered for sale this year)
Ancient Dinan: This ancient walled city is indeed a wonderful place with old Saint Malo town at the mouth of Le Rance. Both cities have colourful and amazing histories.Both are a joy to explore & discover, St Malo looking out to sea, Dinan overlooking the Le Rance river port & valley. Their cobbled streets & architecture amaze & enchant. St Malo has many tourists in the summer, Dinan has a more undiscovered feel. There are many little bars & bistros lining the ancient streets. Around every corner there is a view that pleases the eye & raises the spirits, with well over a thousand years of history it calls to be explored. Any internet search of Dinan will fill you with a hunger to tread the cobbles As Charles Dickens said Dinan is a most charming hill town and river port in Brittany, Come & find a resting place & find your mind going back through the centuries to kings & crusaders, pirates & merchants whose ships travelled to the four corners of the known world.

The ancient port at le Guildo, is at the base of the St Jacut de la Mer peninsular,
It offers nine beaches and a bustlin village with several bars/restarants,
St Jacut offers many breataking views, and should you like walking then i would suggest you stroll its coast line, its a great way to spend a day. St Jacut de la Mer is off the tourist track and a well kept secret by the locals.
This beautiful peninsular lays in a large bay that is tipped by the port and marina at St Cast to the south,
and the inlet harbour of St Briac,( an old town nestled on the overlooking hill) to the north.
There are many beaches to chose from along this coast, 20 are within a five minuets drive.
The 12th century castle at le Guildo was home of the Gilles de Brettan family and is a short stroll away.
At the bottom of the hill (a minuet walk from your door) are bars and restarants on each side of the bridge.
The house itself are surrounded by established gardens with orchards to the rear.
With bedrooms upstairs and an area set with settees and tv/music centre, the feel upstairs is nautical.

THE COAST.
The Emerald Coast: The waters are indeed green and with the highest rise and fall of water in Europe,
the shell fish are some of the best in the world.
The history along the coast is everywhere, pirates and battles, smuggling and treasures.
The treasure is still here, just pop along to St Jacut de la Mer , sit on the grass and watch the day unfold as the sail boats, surfers , sports kites and sand buggies all vie for your attention,
The gulls call as they float by on the breeze and lull you into contented state giving you plenty of time to plan lunch.
Or if you feel a little more energetic, a day trip to Guernsey, its just 30 mins away.
There are many boat tours from St Malo and Dinard,
also from Dinan there's a boat trip to the Barrage near St Servan.
Dinard boasts every water sport you can think of and a few other sports such as go karts.
With late night bars clubs and the casinos in St Malo and Dinard there's plenty to keep you busy. And a flutter and a late drink are always on the menu.
PERFECT FOR EXPLORING.
Great situation to Explore: Dinan is on a major road system that makes traveling a joy, French roads are excellent and don't suffer the congestion of English roads.
You can visit Mont Saint Michel (40 mins), the Normandy beaches in approximately an hour.
The Bayeux tapestry, the war graves & museums are within easy reach, Rennes is 40 mins in the car.
The TGV train now runs to Paris from St Malo or Rennes, you can be in Paris in 3 hours without stopping for a red light or petrol ,whilst enjoying a drink and a bite, or the day trip to Guernsey on the ferry.
So if you wish to have a two location break, you may do.
But here you are in one of the most beautiful areas in europe,
the time locked towns and coast line that rivals the Amalfi coast or the ring of Kerry.
