Impressive castle walls that once protected a well preserved town with beautiful, old (16th century) half-timbered houses.

The Porte du Jerzual in Dinan is one of the most charming parts of this medieval town, with its beautifully preserved stone arches and historic ambience. This impressive gate was once the main entrance to the old town. As you approach it, you will notice the superb stonework of its ancient walls which add to its historic character.

The Porte du Jerzual is one of Dinan's historic city gates. It marks the transition from the old town to Rue du Jerzual, which leads down to the harbor on the Rance River. Dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, the gate is part of the well-preserved medieval city fortifications. With its stone walls and battlements, it is a typical example of defensive architecture.
