Across from Saint-Malo, on left bank of the Rance, Dinard has been given the epithet the “Nice of the North” for its stately atmosphere.
On the way you may be intrigued to know that the bridge that crosses the Rance estuary also houses Europe’s first tidal power plant, built in 1966 and still working.
Once you get to Dinard you’ll be dazzled by the luxurious mansions, from the late 19th century when the resort became “the” place to be seen in the summer season.
Many of these palatial homes are now listed and can be seen from the Promenade du Clair de Lune, which meanders along with coastline, has views of Saint-Malo and is beautifully lit on summer evenings.
