Dinan

Dinan is a town in western France with 14 675 inhabitants. This Breton town is surrounded by an impressive ring of city walls.

Strategically located for traffic between Normandy and the northern coast of Brittany, Dinan was built mostly on a hill. The old town lies about 75 m above the River Rance, which flows north and flows into the English Channel between Saint-Malo and Dinard. For a long time, Dinan was the northernmost point for crossing the Rance and its wide estuary delta. The construction of the Canal d'Ille-et-Rance created a navigable connection with the capital, Rennes.

It's definitely a touristic city but it's anyways big enough that you can still feel a lot of local life. The old town is quite impressive and although I had my croissant and my café au lait in the middle of the historical center it was only 3,60.Read more
