Dinan, Brittany

Base manager Marcel Duport welcomes you to Dinan. Dinan is a medieval town, enclosed by ramparts overlooking the valley of the Rance (a spectacular sight). Try to keep a few hours available to visit this very lively town; it is at its best during the summer season. You will be able to visit the castle of the Duchess Anne and its museum, the Saint Sauveur Basilica and discover the old alleys including the famous Jerzual Road, the English Garden and the Clock Tower. You can find all the facilities you might need in Dinan including everyday shops and services such as banks, a post office, a pharmacy and a supermarket.

Our base has toilets, showers and free open-air parking.

For those taking a one way cruise there is the possibility of car transfer from the departure base to the arrival base at a cost €95.
