Cities of art and history, not to be missed
Dinan
How not to fall in love with this medieval city in Brittany? Stroll through its streets and alleys to read the history there through the ramparts, its medieval castle, its houses with half-timbered and corbelled porches or its tall residences of shipowners or wealthy merchants. By the rue du Jerzual, gently let yourself be carried towards the port and continue the walk on the banks of the Rance.
Saint Malo
Intra-muros, sheltered by the ramparts Saint Malo can be visited along the narrow streets and its tall residences. From its chemin de Ronde, the Cité Corsaire offers breathtaking views of the estuary and Dinard. On reaching the Château, take a walk on the long Sillon beach.

The Mont Saint Michel
The changing lights with the tides and the weather give magic to this Bay, an architectural gem. If you have time, take advantage of the walk to go to Cancale and Pointe du Grouin.
Small towns but not lacking in character
Lamballe
The Notre Dame Collegiate Church and two listed churches, St Jean Church and St Martin Church, bear witness to the great history. Since the 19th century, the Haras National has made this city the city of horses. It still hosts around fifty stallions including the Breton postman. City of arts and crafts with the Mathurin Méheult museum, which celebrates this painter from the city, offers a new exhibition every year, and the museum of popular arts.

Quintin
This city of weavers owes its fortune to the flax industry in the 17th and 18th centuries. From this rich past the city retains an exceptional architectural heritage since no less than two castles and thirteen listed monuments are listed there.

Let’s not forget our castles
Fort La Latte Castle
Fort La Latte remains above all a fortified castle. Courtines, towers, walls, dungeons and drawbridges transport you to another time. A medieval garden enhances the visit. A must visit for the castle and the exceptional view of Cap-Fréhel.
