A pretty little peaceful port on the banks of the Rance. The road, however, is certainly less peaceful in season 😅.

The bridge is closed to car traffic until 2028, but passage is still possible on foot or by bicycle.

I was particularly impressed by the church windows.

The Basilica of Saint-Sauveur was founded around 1112 and combines Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It is famous as the burial place of the hero Bertrand du Guesclin. It has been a historic monument since 1862 and was elevated to a minor basilica in 1954. Noteworthy are the Romanesque west portal, the Gothic chapels, and the relief of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

The Tour de l'Horloge on Rue de l'Horloge is a medieval bell tower dating back to the late 15th century. Originally serving as a watchtower and town hall, it now houses a small museum. At 40 meters high and with 158 steps, it offers impressive panoramic views of the Old Town, the surrounding area, and, on a clear day, even as far as Mont Saint-Michel.

The Église Saint-Malo de Dinan is a late Gothic church in the historic center. Construction began around 1490 and continued into the 19th century. Built in the Flamboyant Gothic style, it is made of Breton granite and measures approximately 76.5 meters long, 44.1 meters wide, and 21 meters high. The choir rests on eight pillars, surrounded by side chapels with ornate gables. Particularly noteworthy are the early 20th-century stained-glass windows and the historic organ. The church is dedicated to Saint Malo and is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Brittany.

Particularly worth seeing are the church windows, which tell the history of the region. They are stunningly beautiful on a sunny day.

beautiful road and beautiful view
