Places to see in ( Dinan - France ) Centre Historique
Built on a hill overlooking the Rance Valley, Dinan is located in Upper Brittany, in the department of Côtes-d'Armor. This medieval Town of Art and History, surrounded by tall ramparts that run for three kilometres, dates back to the Celtic era, but the monks settled on the banks of the Rance in the 9th century. The town developed in the 11th century around a priory. Having become a ducal town in the late 13th century, Dinan benefited from this new status as it developed.
In Dinan, time seems to have stood still. The picturesque cobbled streets, whose restaurants and pancake houses sometimes feature medieval decorations, invite long walks. There are pretty shops and emblematic monuments to see. The small harbour is the starting point for boat excursions on the Rance.Various hikes and water sports activities are available on the banks of the river. There is also the House of the Rance, a museum about the valley that offers many activities including walks, bike rides and boat trips.
After a walk around the harbour, where trade developed in the Middle Ages, head to the picturesque cobbled street of Le Jerzual, an old, steep path that connects the harbour with the medieval town. This charming street lined with half-timbered houses and many art and craft shops used to be the street where weavers and tanners lived. Nowadays they have been replaced by wood-gilders and glass-blowers.
Dinan is a medieval city with old antique walls that welcomes every two years his party Remparts in July. The old town is completely restored, and there are many shops timbered houses reminiscent of old crafts (glass blower, period furniture woodworkers, weavers, pottery...). You find them in the pedestrian street of Jerzual, and there, down this street you will arrive at the port of Dinan, the ride is beautiful. You can also make a mini cruise on the river Rance to the village of Léhon upstream, whose visit is essential, and to the lock of Yvet downstream to sample mussels and chips
Built in the 14th century, Dinan Castle is now a museum with art and history collections. It consists of three parts: the Guichet Gate, the keep and the Coëtquen Tower. The unusual 12th-century Basilica of St. Saviour was never completed. This religious monument combines Byzantine, Persian and Romanesque influences, and contains the heart of Bertrand Du Guesclin. For a lovely view of the town and the Rance, head to the Clock Tower: standing 46 metres tall, this 15th-century edifice is open from April to September and is the highest point in the town.

Places to see in ( Dinan - France )
Dinan is a town in Brittany, northwest France. It’s known for its medieval ramparts, cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses. Dinan Castle has a 14th-century keep and the Tour du Coëtquen, a 15th-century artillery tower. The grand, Gothic-style Saint-Malo Church has vibrant stained-glass windows. The Clock Tower offers panoramic views. The Rail Museum has model railways, plus posters and signal boxes.
Dinan is without doubt one of the most attractive and best preserved small towns in Brittany. With its 1.8 mile (3km)-long ramparts, half-timbered houses, attractive port and cobbled streets filled with art galleries and craft shops, it’s worth a day of anyone’s time.
The most attractive part of Dinan is arguably its port, which is where you’ll arrive if you take a boat from Dinard or St Malo. The quay is lined with old stone houses, many of which are now waterside restaurants and chandlers’ shops. Take a walk along the old towpath or cross the 15th-century stone bridge to Lanvallay to find out about life on the river in the Maison de la Rance discovery centre. Wherever you are, you won’t miss the 131ft (40m)-high viaduct.
From the port, make your way up the steep Rue du Petit-Fort, which was Dinan’s main point of access until the 18th century. This cobbled hill with its half-timbered houses appears on many a postcard; have a browse in the arts and crafts shops. Dinan has been designated a Ville d’Art et d’Histoire (Town of Art and History) and the town is filled with artists, sculptors, engravers, bookbinders, glassblowers and more.
Dinan’s old town is a warren of narrow streets where it appears that time has stood still. The quaintest part is Place des Merciers where you’ll find the best examples of the town’s half-timbered houses; just opposite is the pedestrianised Rue de la Cordonnerie, also known as ‘thirsty street’ as it has nine bars.
To get your bearings, climb the 158 steps to the top of the 40m (132ft)-high Tour de l’Horloge for wonderful views over Dinan and the surrounding area – you can see as far as Mont St Michel on a clear day. Nearby Place du Guesclin is the site of the Thursday-morning market.
The 13th-century castle now houses the town’s museum and this is the best place to start a tour of the magnificent ramparts, 8804ft (2684m) long, which are the oldest and most impressive in Brittany. Dinan holds the Fête des Remparts medieval festival each July.

Dinan - Bretagne - Côtes d'Armor - France
L’histoire de Dinan est connue à partir du XIe siècle, bien que le site ait sans doute été occupé depuis l'Antiquité. C’est à l’époque une bourgade dans laquelle s’implante un couvent bénédictin. Un des fragments de la tapisserie de Bayeux évoque la destruction par Guillaume le Conquérant d’une motte castrale.
Organisée autour des paroisses Saint-Malo et Saint-Sauveur, la moitié de Dinan est achetée en 1283 par le duc de Bretagne Jean le Roux. C’est à cette époque que la ville acquiert la ceinture de remparts qu’on lui connaît. Les tours de Beaumanoir, Vaucouleurs, Saint-Julien, Beaufort, du Connétable, de Coëtquen, Penthièvre, Longue et Sainte-Catherine entourent la vieille ville dans le sens trigonométrique. Ce chemin de ronde encore intact sur 2 600 m est percé par les portes du Jerzual, de Saint-Malo, de Brest, du Guichet et plus tard de Saint-Louis (1620).
En 1357, lors de la guerre de succession du duché de Bretagne, Bertrand Du Guesclin et son frère Olivier défendent avec succès la ville assiégée par les troupes anglaises et les Bretons fidèles à Jean de Montfort. Il affronte Thomas de Cantorbery en combat singulier et en sort vainqueur. En 1364, après plusieurs tentatives infructueuses, le duc Jean IV parvient à reprendre le contrôle de la ville et y fait construire le donjon dit « de la duchesse Anne ».
Les fortifications de la ville sont modernisées dans la deuxième moitié du XVe siècle avec l'addition de plusieurs tours d'artillerie. Cela passe par la destruction de la partie des faubourgs située contre les murailles par l'incendie, afin de dégager un glacis4. Les canons n'ont jamais tiré : le gouverneur de la ville rend les clefs au représentant du roi de France après la bataille de Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier en 1488. Comme toutes les autres villes bretonnes, Dinan est définitivement rattachée au Royaume de France en août 1532.
La ville continue à prospérer, avec une activité artisanale soutenue intra-muros et la présence du port sur la Rance qui favorise le commerce. Dinan contrôle en effet la voie fluviale permettant de transporter les marchandises jusqu’à Saint-Malo. En 1598, Dinan choisit le camp du nouveau roi de France, Henri IV, contre son gouverneur, Philippe-Emmanuel de Lorraine, duc de Mercœur, qui s’y oppose lors des guerres de la Ligue. C’est à partir de cette époque que les fortifications perdent leur usage défensif et ne sont plus entretenues.
Au XVIIe siècle, d’autres ordres religieux implantent de nouveaux couvents : Capucins, Ursulines, Bénédictines, Dominicaines, Clarisses s’ajoutent aux Cordeliers et aux Jacobins.
Dinan participe à la Révolte du papier timbré survenue en 1675. Le bailliage de Dinan dépendait de l'abbaye Notre-Dame du Tronchet.
Au XVIIIe siècle, l’activité commerciale est stimulée par l’installation de nombreux tisserands, qui produisent notamment des toiles utilisées pour les voiles des navires, envoyées ensuite à Saint-Malo par la vallée de la Rance. Sous l’impulsion d’une bourgeoisie qui se développe, diverses mesures sont prises pour lutter contre l’insalubrité régnant dans la ville, parallèlement à son développement extra-muros.
Pendant la Révolution, Jean Jules Coupard, avocat né en 1740, est élu député du Tiers état aux États généraux de 1789 et participe donc à la réorganisation administrative de la France et à la rédaction de constitution de 1791. Il est à nouveau élu député en 1792 à la Convention. Marie Toussaint Gagon du Chesnay, avocat et ancien maire de Dinan, est lui aussi député aux États généraux. Il adhère aux idées nouvelles. La constitution de 1791 prévoyait que les députés des États généraux ne pourraient se représenter à l'Assemblée nationale législative : il se retire donc sur ses terres en 1791. À la fin de la Révolution, il est appelé par Bonaparte au poste de sous-préfet de Dinan.
Pendant les épisodes de la deuxième Commune de Paris, la ville de Dinan connut une exportation de ce modèle politique, et ainsi fut créée la Commune de Dinan, toujours officiellement existante.
Au XIXe siècle, le port perd progressivement de son importance, avec la construction d’un viaduc routier qui désenclave la ville, en 1852, et avec l’arrivée du chemin de fer en 1879. La ville voit se construire de nombreuses demeures cossues et se transforme peu à peu en destination de villégiature, particulièrement prisée par les Britanniques.
Malgré un incendie en 1907 qui a détruit cinq maisons à colombage, et un bombardement en août 1944, la ville n'a pas connu de grands changements depuis le début du XXe siècle.
Rennes. Historic city centre | France #1
A visit to Rennes, the historic capital of Britanny. The city has a long history going back to Gallic and Roman times. It was one of the major cities of the independent Duchy of Brittany. This duchy eventually became part of the Kingdom of France in 1547 after centuries of struggles. Because of its strategic importance, Rennes was heavily fortified during the Middle Ages. Some traces of Rennes' walls remain. The old town also possesses a large number of historic timber-framed houses.

Exploring Dinan - Brittany, France
Dinan captures medieval character with charm, and very little tourist hype. The buildings, bastions and churches are genuine, and have been authentically restored. Some of these buildings date from the 13th century. Large segments of the city walls remain, and can be explored via a path around the town.
We stayed at the bottom of town, at the river Port. You can also stay in the upper town area - either way there are lots of ups and downs when you explore this town, but the sights are worth the climb either way.
Dinan is a walled Breton town and a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in northwestern France. Its geographical setting is exceptional. Instead of nestling on the valley floor like Morlaix, most urban development has been on the hillside, overlooking the river Rance. The area alongside the River Rance is known as the port of Dinan and is connected to the town by the steep streets Rue Jerzual and its continuation outside the walls the Rue de Petit Fort.

Dinan : quel avenir pour la boulangerie le fournil des Cordeliers ?
Une famille de boulangers installés depuis janvier 2018 dans le centre ville de Dinan pourrait devoir prochainement fermer la boutique dans laquelle elle a placé toutes ses économies. Leur propriétaire exige de récupérer les lieux et s'appuie pour cela sur le droit. Malgré le soutien de leurs clients et des commerçants du quartier, pas sûr que les boulangers puissent poursuivre leur activité.

Places to see in ( Dinan - France ) Château de Dinan
The Château de Dinan consists of a keep, in the town of Dinan, in the Côtes-d'Armor département of the Brittany region of France. The keep and the gate are part of the 2,600 metres (8,500 ft) of medieval ramparts which still surround the old town. It is called Donjon de la duchesse Anne (Keep of the Duchess Anne), and stands 111 feet (34m) high near the Saint Louis gate.
John V, Duke of Brittany built the keep in 1382-1383. The keep is formed by a union of two tall circular towers; a moat and drawbridge divides the keep from the outside of the ramparts as well as from the inside of the city, providing a stronghold both against outsiders and from the townspeople themselves. Extensive machicolations overhang the wall head providing defensive coverage of the base of the tower.
The castle was listed for protection as a monument historique in 1886. It is owned by the commune and houses the local museum.
The castle, adjoining the city but independent of it, could both provide defence and compel submission in case of revolt: it was a substantial political symbol. The castle, attached to the city ramparts, was enlarged in 1595–1598 by the Duc de Mercoeur through the annexation of the fortified 13th-century Porte du Guichet and the artillery Tour de Coëtquen (built 1474), both of which were part of the city walls; this ensemble forms the existing castle. The building was altered between 1693 and 1711 by the military engineer Garanjeau (in particular, the roof was suppressed and replaced by a terrace) and then by the Monuments Historiques and the city of Dinan, which are now responsible for its preservation.
The main part of John of Montfort’s castle, built by Etienne le Tur and in use by 1384, comprises a massive donjon, 34 m high. Its intricate plan is composed of two great round towers joined by a slightly projecting forebuilding, to which the principal entrance, defended by a drawbridge, opens on the ground floor. The donjon has five storeys, crowned by a parapet walk with machicolation decorated with trefoils and supported on long, elegant corbels; a sixth storey, covered with slate, formerly made up the upper part of the structure.
On the opposite side to the projecting entrance block the donjon dominated a very small courtyard, which was provided with a postern and drawbridge leading to the outside and a well that controlled a complex system of water supply. While the exterior of the Dinan Castle has a fortified appearance, the interior is primarily residential. The floors are linked by a continuous spiral staircase.
