General Tips: The Old Town

  • Favorite Thing: Dinan's old town is the main reason to visit. Its old cobbled streets are so picturesque and are home to some magnificent 15th century half-timbered houses, which lean this way and that, looking like they may collapse if you lean on them.

    In the heart of the old town you have place des Merciers and place des Cordeliers. These small, pretty squares are lined with shops and restaurants. Surrounding them are several small streets with some interesting shops and the odd wine bar.

    You can check out the Tour de l'Horloge, which is a 15th century clock tower crammed in amongst the timber buildings. You can climb up to its small balcony for views of the old town.

    Fondest Memory: Just take a wander around the streets, browsing in shops, photographing half-timber buildings and perhaps enjoying an ice cream.

     Beautiful half-timbered houses in the Old Town. When I was there I always enjoyed walking home in the warm wind after a delicious meal -- so yes, it's too bad your hotel wasn't a bit further away from the restaurant. (Ours was about 45 minutes.)

     Lovely page, I love the markets where you can buy lovely fresh fruit and veg ;-)

     Nice page, Sue! Unfortunately, my parents and I didn't visit Dinan during our holidays in Bretagne, maybe next time!

     This place looks lovely. I should really explore more of France one of these days.
