| Getting About |
| Car Rental |
|
Unless you are very energetic you will need a car to get to see the best of the area. Cars can be hired from www.hertz.com at Dinard Airport. |
| Bike Rental |
|
Hiring bikes for adults is easy, but children's bikes are not available in Dinan so you will need to bring them with you. Cycling along the tow path to dinan (30 mins on the bikes) is beautiful, easy, flat and there is no traffic. It's a great idea on market day (thursday) so that you don't have to worry about parking the car. |
 |

the village of Calorguen 1km has a small boulangerie where you can get fresh bread, croissants, pain au chocolat and basic daily necessities (closed on thursday). |

| shopping centres, bars & restaurants |
|
Dinan boasts some lovely boutiques for browsing. The old centre is full of little shops and at least 50 restaurants and creperies and several bars. The port area is a lovely place to sit by the river, eat a good meal drink a drop of wine or cider and watch the world go by. |
