DINARD, BRITTANY FRANCE

DINARD

The fashionable summer resort of Dinard is our final stop.  After two months on the road, I think we are ready to head back to Minnesota.  My shoes are squeaking from all the rain and my "aching" legs are begging for a normal life.  I am also sick of sharing the public bathrooms with men. 
  
We stayed four nights at the Comfort Hotel Dinard Balmoral which was a problem because the internet was limited and frustrating for Ron.  Our experience with internet is that connections at apartments and B&B's are better then hotels. 

Dinard is an old city on the English Channel with magnificent views of the water, islands, lighthouses, beaches and interesting four story homes on cliffs.   The best part was the old brick wall along the ocean that you walk on for many miles.  There were not many visitors around in mid June, I think they were waiting for a good weather report.

We found Dinard to be a great base for sidetrips to Dinan and St Malo.  They were both a 30 minute bus ride. Dinan is considered one of the prettiest cities in Brittany. The buildings are on stilts and it is on a river.  You can also take a river boat ride from Dinard to Dinan.   St. Malo is a walled city on the water which can be seen from Dinard.   We also road the bus further up the coast from Dinard to a town called Saint- Briac which was lovely.   Four days in Brittany is not long enough - we hope to return someday.
