Dinan

"Dinan. The pearl of Brittany. Thousand-year-old houses. Sailboats on the river. Musicians in the streets of the city. Wood. Stone. Music. History. The medieval town on the hilltop has many fine old buildings, some of which date from the 13th century. The town retains a large section of the city walls, part of which can be walked round. Major historical attractions include the Jacobins Theatre dating from 1224, the flamboyant Gothic St Malo's Church, the Romanesque St Saviour's Basilica, Duchess Anne's Tower and the Château de Dinan. A major highlight in the calendar is Dinan's Fête des Remparts. The town is transformed with decoration and many locals dress up in medieval garb for this two-day festival. The festival takes place over the third weekend in July every even-numbered year. The area alongside the river is known as the "port of Dinan", and is connected to the town by steep streets. I cannot say anything else about it, you have to see it with your eyes. And it is the right conclusion of our journey."
