## What is Dinan?

One of the best-preserved walled towns in Brittany: about 2.7 km of ramparts with towers and gates, streets of timber-framed houses and a basilica. Below, on the banks of the Rance, is the port, with a stone viaduct above it. Everything is joined by the rue du Jerzual, cobbled and very steep.

## How do you get there?

It is about 30 km from Saint-Malo, half an hour by car. It has a regional railway station. In season, the Compagnie Corsaire sails up the Rance by boat from Saint-Malo and Dinard to the port of Dinan in about 2 h 45; it leaves once a day, at the time set by the tide.

## How much time do you need?

Half a day for the upper town, the Jerzual and the port. A whole day if you add the towpath to Léhon or arrive by boat.

## Dónde está
- Cerca: Saint-Malo (a 21.7 km), Cancale (a 28.5 km), Mont-Saint-Michel (a 44.4 km), Brocéliande Forest (a 49.2 km)

## Qué hacer
- **Rue du Jerzual down to the Port** (1 h · No pushchairs · Independent visit · free): What it is
The rue du Jerzual is the street that links the upper town of Dinan with the port on the Rance. In the Middle Ages it was the only route between the town and the port, along which goods bound by river for Saint-Malo went up and down; in the 18th century the town's weavers carried the sailcloth down here to be shipped downriver. Today it is a cobbled and very steep street, among timber-framed houses, with craftsmen's workshops and galleries.
Halfway down you pass through the Jerzual gate, one of the five gates of the wall. Below it, the street continues under the name rue du Petit-Fort to the port, where the stone viaduct of 1852 crosses the valley above the rooftops.
The route

At the top, you leave the upper town by the rue de la Lainerie, where the Crêperie du Roy is, which leads to the Jerzual.
The descent is short but steep: cobbles, bends and leaning houses on both sides. Stop at the workshops and galleries along the street.
The Jerzual gate. Its wall walk, reopened in July 2026, has the best view over the port; you climb up from the rue Michel or the rue de l'École (more in the entry on the ramparts).
Rue du Petit-Fort to the bottom, with more old houses.
The port: quays with terraces, pleasure boats and the viaduct above. From here leaves the towpath to Léhon and arrive the Rance boats.

Going down takes about 15 minutes without stops; with workshops and photos, an hour there and back. Going up is harder: take it easy.
When to go
In the morning, before eleven, the street is quiet. At midday in July and August there are lots of people on the descent. At the end of the afternoon, the port fills with terraces. In rain, the cobbles are very slippery.
With children, a pushchair or reduced mobility
With children it is an entertaining walk, but the slope and the cobbles are not suitable for a pushchair or wheelchair: bring a baby carrier. If you have reduced mobility, you can reach the port by car and see the lower part from there.
Getting there and parking
If you start at the top, park in the upper town: the Jean Monnet car park, at 53 rue Victor Schoelcher, is free all year, and the place Duguesclin is a car park except on Thursday mornings, market day.
If you prefer to start at the bottom, the P1 Plaine du Port car park is on the rue du Port. Under the viaduct there is also a motorhome car park, with a maximum height of 4 m. From the port you climb the Jerzual and return the same way.
To round it off
At the top, the Clock Tower gives the overall view. If you stay the night, the Hôtel Arvor is inside the old town, and the Camping de la Hallerais, downriver, is linked to the port by the towpath.
- **Ramparts and Wall Walk** (1 h · 2.7 km · All ages · Independent visit · free): What it is
Dinan keeps its medieval wall almost entire: an enclosure of about 2,650 m that encloses some 30 hectares of upper town, with five gates (Brest, Saint-Malo, Jerzual, Saint-Louis and Guichet) and some twenty towers. It was begun by the lords of Dinan in the 13th century, the dukes of Brittany strengthened it in the 14th and 15th centuries, and the largest building campaign was between 1476 and 1488. It has been a listed historic monument since 1886.
It can be seen in two ways: from above, along the stretches of wall walk open to the public, and from below, along the paths that surround it. Together, the two give you the view of the Rance valley, the viaduct and the port.
Which stretches can be walked

Wall walk at the Jerzual gate. It reopened on 4 July 2026, after five years closed and two of restoration works. It covers nearly a kilometre of restored wall and has the best view of the town and the valley.
North front. Between the Saint-Malo gate and the Saint-Julien tower there are more than 600 m of restored curtain walls and towers. It has its own hours, from 9:15 to 17:00.
English garden and the Duchess Anne walk. Behind the basilica of Saint-Sauveur, a landscaped stretch on top of the wall looks out over the Rance valley.

Hours and price
The wall walk is open every day: from April to September from 9:00 to 19:00 and from October to March from 9:00 to 18:00. You enter by the rue Michel or the rue de l'École. Access is free. Some stretches close for restoration work on specific dates: in 2026, the north front between the Saint-Malo gate and the Beaumanoir tower was closed from 27 April to 10 May. Check the town council's notices before going.
The tourist office sells for €0.20 a map with a walking circuit of the walls, which can also be downloaded free from its website, and there are self-guided routes on the Wivisit app. The town council publishes a game booklet for walking the north front as a family.
How long
An hour for the Jerzual wall walk and the English garden. If you go all the way round the enclosure, above and below, allow a good two hours with stops.
With children and with a dog
With children it is a good walk, with towers and gates, but on the high stretches hold their hands. With a pushchair, ask the tourist office which accesses have steps. Dogs are allowed.
Getting there and parking
Everything is in the upper town. For parking, the Jean Monnet car park, at 53 rue Victor Schoelcher, is free all year. The place Duguesclin is a car park except on Thursday mornings, when there is a market. On the street, in July and August you pay from 9:00 to 19:00; it is free at midday, at night, on Sundays and on public holidays.
To round it off
The Jerzual gate opens onto the rue du Jerzual, which goes down to the port. From the Clock Tower you see the upper town and its walls from above. To sleep next to it, the Hôtel Le D'Avaugour has a garden on the ramparts.
- **Clock Tower** (30 min · General admission €4 · reduced €2.50): What it is
The Tour de l'Horloge is Dinan's municipal tower: 43 m of stone in the centre of the upper town, raised at the end of the 15th century by the town's wealthy burghers. At the top there is a view of the rooftops, the timber-framed streets, the basilica of Saint-Sauveur, the walls and the Rance valley.
What makes it special is its clock. In 1501 Duchess Anne of Brittany granted Dinan the privilege of having a clock in its communal tower, and in 1502 the mechanism arrived, made in Nantes in 1498 by a German clockmaker called Hamzer. It is one of the oldest clock mechanisms in Europe and is still in the tower.
Hours
In 2026 it was open from 4 April to 1 November:

From April to September: every day from 10:30 to 18:30. On Mondays and Wednesdays it closes at midday: from 10:30 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:30.
From October to the All Saints holidays: every day except Tuesday, from 10:30 to 12:30 and from 13:30 to 17:30.

From November to early April it is closed. The 2027 dates are published by the town council in spring.
Price

General rate: €4.
Reduced: €2.50.

The town council does not detail on its website who is entitled to the reduced rate or whether small children go in free: ask at the entrance. The tower's phone number is 02 96 87 02 26.
The climb
You climb on foot, by staircase. The town council does not publish accessibility information for the tower: if you are with a wheelchair, a pushchair or have reduced mobility, call 02 96 87 02 26 first. Allow about 30 minutes for the climb, the clock and time at the top. With children it is a short visit; watch them on the stairs and on the terrace.
Getting there
The tower is on the rue de l'Horloge, in the heart of the old town. You get there on foot from anywhere in the upper town.
For parking, the Jean Monnet car park (53 rue Victor Schoelcher) is free all year and has 223 underground spaces. The place Duguesclin and Château car parks are closer to the centre; on Thursday mornings the place Duguesclin is taken by the market. On the street, in July and August you pay from 9:00 to 19:00; it is free at midday (from 12:30 to 13:30), at night, on Sundays and on public holidays.
When to go
First thing, as soon as it opens, to have the terrace quieter, or in the afternoon, with the light over the valley. On Mondays and Wednesdays it closes at midday: plan so as not to arrive at one o'clock.
To round it off
From the tower you go down to the rue du Jerzual and the port, and climb to the wall walk on the ramparts. For lunch, the Crêperie du Roy is on the street that goes down towards the Jerzual; on Thursday mornings there is a market. To sleep in the centre, the Hôtel Le D'Avaugour.
- **Rance Towpath to Léhon** (1 h · 4 km · Pushchairs and bikes · Independent visit · free): What it is
The towpath is the track along the banks of the Rance along which horses once pulled barges upriver. From the port of Dinan it follows the river, flat and beside the water, to Léhon, the neighbouring village, about 2 km to the south. It is Dinan's quiet stroll: no hills, beside the water, and at the end a village with an abbey and a ruined castle.
Léhon has been joined to Dinan since 2018, but keeps its village feel: it is one of Brittany's Petites Cités de Caractère. Here the Rance is already part of the Ille-et-Rance canal, and in the village is lock number 47.
The route

Start at the port of Dinan, at the foot of the rue du Jerzual and under the viaduct of 1852.
Upriver along the bank, leaving the viaduct behind. The path is flat and runs always beside the water.
Arrival at Léhon, about 2 km later: the lock and the village.
Saint-Magloire abbey, founded in the 9th century by monks who came from Wales around the relics of Saint Magloire. It has a Romanesque and Gothic church, a cloister and a Gothic refectory with modern stained glass. It has been a listed historic monument since 1875. Ask at the tourist office whether the interior can be visited on your date.
The ruins of Léhon castle, at the entrance to the village, rebuilt in the 13th century by Peter Mauclerc and abandoned at the end of the 15th.

Return the same way. In all, about 4 km there and back: around an hour walking without stops, or an hour and a half with a visit to the village.
Who it is for
It is suitable for everyone: pushchairs, bikes and small children. It is the alternative to the steep cobbles of the upper town, which do not suit a pushchair. By bike you do it in a short while and can continue along the canal path to the south. With a dog, keep it on a lead: there are cyclists and families.
When to go
All year. In summer, first thing or at the end of the afternoon you walk in the cool with lovely light on the river. After heavy rain, expect mud on the path.
Getting there and parking
If you start at the port, the P1 Plaine du Port car park is on the rue du Port. Under the viaduct there is a motorhome car park with a maximum height of 4 m, and in Léhon there is a municipal motorhome area. If you come from the upper town, walk down the Jerzual and climb back up at the end; the Jean Monnet car park, in the upper town, is free all year.
Downriver from the port, the towpath continues to Taden, where the Camping de la Hallerais is, which is thus linked to the port on foot or by bike.
Water and facilities
At the port of Dinan there are bars and terraces for before or after. Along the way do not count on fountains or toilets: bring water in summer.
- **Boat on the Rance between Saint-Malo and Dinan** (2 h 45 · From €30.50 one way): What it is
A commentated cruise that goes up the Rance estuary from Saint-Malo and Dinard to Dinan, or the other way round. It is run by the Compagnie Corsaire and lasts about 2 h 45 each way. It is the loveliest way to reach Dinan: you enter by the river, as goods did in the Middle Ages, and land at the port, at the foot of the walled town.
On the way you pass the lock of the Rance dam, the EDF tidal power station, and then see fishing villages, an old castle, a malouinière (the country houses of the Saint-Malo shipowners), the river widening like a lake and a stretch squeezed between cliffs. Before Dinan you go through the Châtelier lock. A member of the crew gives live commentary on the trip.
Prices and times

One way: €30.50 per adult and €19 for ages 3 to 15.
Return: €36 per adult and €23 for ages 3 to 15.
Under-3s: free.

It leaves once a day in season from the Bourse maritime station in Saint-Malo, with a stop at Dinard a quarter of an hour later. As an example, on Saturday 3 October the departure was at 10:15 from Saint-Malo, at 10:30 from Dinard and arrival at Dinan at 14:30. The timetable changes every day, because it depends on the manoeuvres of the Rance dam and the Châtelier lock, and may be altered at short notice. The full calendar is in the company's annual leaflet.
How to return
The boat makes a single trip a day, so the return is arranged separately:

By coach: the company offers a coach between the place Duclos in Dinan and Saint-Malo, next to the ramparts.
If you leave from Dinard, you can return by boat from Dinan at around 17:00, depending on the date, and then cross to Dinard on the Bus de Mer, included in the Dinard–Dinan ticket. The last Bus de Mer from Saint-Malo to Dinard leaves at 19:10.
By train: Dinan has a regional train station; check SNCF times beforehand.

If you are staying in Dinan, you can do the trip the other way round: go down the river to Saint-Malo and come back by coach.
How to book
Book online on the Compagnie Corsaire website: the calendar marks in black the days with a departure. Booking secures your place and warns you if the time changes. For discounts or membership cards, contact them by phone or email.
What to bring
A windcheater and an extra layer: on deck, over the estuary, it blows even when it is sunny. Sunglasses, water and something to eat, because it is almost three hours. With children, bring something to keep them busy on the long stretch.
When to go
In season, from spring to early autumn. In July and August, book days ahead.
On arriving in Dinan
You land at the port. From there the rue du Jerzual climbs to the upper town, or you can stroll along the towpath to Léhon. For lunch, the Crêperie du Roy is on the street that climbs towards the centre.

## By car: Dinan by Car, Parking Outside the Old Town
Dinan is half an hour from Saint-Malo by the D137 and D168, and an hour from Rennes by the N137 and N176. The car lets you combine it with the coast on the same day. Inside the ramparts the streets are narrow and in summer the street is paid: leave the car in a car park and get around on foot.
Presupuesto orientativo: 90–150 € por persona y día.
### Dónde dormir if you're driving
- **Hôtel Le D'Avaugour** (Small hotel): Le D'Avaugour is a stone house on the place du Champ Clos, at the entrance to the upper town, with a garden that looks onto the ramparts. It is a hotel in the Logis network, with 21 rooms and three suites, a bar and a tea room. It has no restaurant: here you sleep, have breakfast and have a drink on the terrace.
The house and the rooms
The rooms are of the kind the hotel calls "of character": each one different, with its own bathroom, minibar and carefully chosen bed linen. The upper floors are reached by lift. There is no air conditioning; in Dinan it is rarely needed. The hotel warns that it has no adapted access for reduced mobility.
Breakfast, with local produce, is served from 8:00 to 10:30, and at weekends there is brunch. The bar has a terrace above the ramparts, with a view towards the Rance valley: it is what sets the house apart.
Getting there and parking
By car, from Saint-Malo or Dinard, you enter the town through the ramparts and reach the place du Champ Clos. Opposite there is a paid public car park and, about seven minutes' walk away, the castle one is free. Beware on Thursday mornings: the square is taken by the market. By train, Dinan station is about 12 minutes' walk away.
From the door you have the wall walk, the Clock Tower and the descent to the Jerzual close at hand.
- **Hôtel Arvor** (Hotel, desde 70 € / night): The Hôtel Arvor occupies a Renaissance-style house from the 18th century built where the Jacobin convent once stood, opposite the Théâtre des Jacobins. You are inside the upper town: the Clock Tower is a few steps away and the rue du Jerzual starts a few streets off. It is a hotel in the Logis network, with three stars.
The rooms
It has 24 rooms and suites in the main building and seven apartments in an annex. There are doubles, twins, triples and family suites for up to six people, and two rooms adapted for reduced mobility. Those on the top floor are attic rooms. There is a lift. In the lounge, with a fireplace and the day's newspapers, you can have a drink in the afternoon; there is no restaurant, only breakfast and room service.
The hotel publishes prices from €70 a night in low season on its website rate. If you are travelling as a couple, it has a package with a superior room, champagne, flowers and breakfasts.
Getting there and parking
By car you enter the upper town and the hotel has private parking, paid and by prior booking: ask for it when booking, because in summer parking within the walls costs. If there is no space left, the Jean Monnet car park is free all year. Without a car, Dinan station is a short walk away and from the hotel you walk to everything: ramparts, basilica, tower and, downhill, the port.

- **Dinan Railway Station**: TER regional trains to Dol-de-Bretagne, where you connect with the Paris TGV and Rennes, and to Saint-Brieuc.

## By plane: Fly to Rennes or Nantes and Drive to Dinan
The nearest airport is Rennes Bretagne, a good hour by car, but from Spain it only has a direct flight to Seville in the winter season. The most practical is usually to fly to Nantes Atlantique, with direct flights from Barcelona and Madrid, and drive about two and a half hours; or fly to Paris and take the TGV down to Dol-de-Bretagne or Rennes, and from there a regional train or car.

## Consejos

### Go down the Jerzual and come back by the port
It is downhill on the way out and uphill on the way back. Wear flat shoes: the cobbles are slippery.

### Park outside the old town
Place Duguesclin and place du Champ Clos are car parks, except on Thursday morning, when there is a market.

### Check the boat the day before
The timetable changes every day with the tide. If you come by boat, you go back by bus or train.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Is it worth it from Saint-Malo?
Yes, as a half-day or whole-day trip. It combines well with a morning on the beach and an afternoon here.

### Can I go by boat?
Yes, in season, with the Compagnie Corsaire: about 2 h 45 along the Rance, one trip a day depending on the tide.

### Is it suitable with a pushchair?
The upper town, yes. The rue du Jerzual is cobbled and very steep. The towpath from the port to Léhon is flat.

### Do I have to pay to enter the ramparts?
No. The walkway is free. You pay for the Clock Tower and the castle.

### Where can I park a motorhome?
Under the viaduct, on rue du Port, there is a motorhome car park with a maximum height of 4 m, and a municipal area at Léhon.
