Dinan used to be city fortified by walls. Only a remnant of these great defences remain now, with only 10 out of 14 guard towers. A small portion of these walls (including those at Castle Dinan) may be walked on. It’s recommended; you’ll probably get the best wide views of Old Dinan from here. Cobbled streets and old buildings with flowers on all sides will be spread out below you. Keep your camera close because you are sure to be clicking away. The ramparts also offer nice views of Rance river. With a little bit of imagination, picturing an 18th century day won’t be hard. Try coming up here at sunrise or sunset.

• Walk or drive here.
• Ask a local for public transport info and/or directions.
