Dinard
A Belle Époque seaside resort across the Rance estuary from Saint-Malo, known for its English-style villas and moonlight path, with views of the walled town.
In the late 19th century, Dinard became popular with wealthy British and American visitors, and hundreds of Belle Époque villas were built along its coast. Plage de l’Écluse is the main beach, and the Promenade du Clair de Lune (Moonlight Path) winds along the coast with views of Saint-Malo’s ramparts.
Every autumn the town hosts the Dinard British Film Festival, and a statue of Hitchcock stands in town. Ferries run from Saint-Malo in about 10 minutes, or you can cross the Rance dam by car.
