walking along the coast in Dinard - Dinard

Dinard is one of France's oldest seaside resorts. Once popular with the British aristocracy, it retains its connection to the UK with its annual British film festival.

Dinard is linked to the popular town of St-Malo by a bridge over the Rance estuary, which doubles as a power station. The 750 metre bridge cuts 30km from the journey between the two towns.

Dinard is a nice place to take some time out and enjoy the views.

I always love coastal scenes and I see some nice ones here. Great info on 'la Rance' tidal power station, especially for me, because we have another located just across the Bay of Fundy in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia!

I didn't know you needed an excuse for an ice-cream - or is that just for the third scoop ?
