Tips from the Community
The old town is one of the best-preserved medieval town centers in Brittany. Narrow, cobbled streets, lovingly restored half-timbered houses, and mighty city walls shape its historic appearance. Over centuries, Dinan developed into an important center of trade and crafts, whose prosperity is still visible today in the numerous historic buildings. Particularly characteristic are the winding streets, small squares, and the well-preserved fortifications that make up the special charm of the city.

The Tour de l’Horloge on Rue de l’Horloge is a medieval clock tower from the late 15th century. Originally it served as a watchtower and town hall, today it houses a small museum. With a height of 40 meters and 158 steps, it offers an impressive panoramic view over the old town, the surrounding area, and on clear days even as far as Mont-Saint-Michel. Admission price for adults: €4

At 3 km long, this is the largest sandy beach in Saint-Malo. Walking along this beach, you can reach Intra-Muros in Paramé. Sillon Beach includes Grande Plage, Hoguette Beach, and Rochebonne Beach. La Digue was built from 1883 to 1913 on an old sandbar (the Sillon) that once connected Paramé to the walled city and provided the only dry-land access at low tide. Originally, a strip of sand was covered with dunes that grew higher and higher as one moved toward Rochebonne, with only a succession of windmills remaining. The first causeway was built in 1509, rebuilt and widened several times... Le Digue, 1,671 meters long, runs along Grande Plage and offers a pleasant stroll, lined with numerous villas built towards the end of the 19th century. Along the Sillon, a line of breakwaters protects the seawall from the force of the waves. Built in the early 19th century based on an idea by the civil engineer Robinault de St-Servan, the oak breakwaters have a depth at least equal to, or even greater than, their visible height.

Yes, unfortunately, the building is falling apart. It's a shame no one is saving it.
