Dinard (Brittany)

Located on the majestic Côte d'Émeraude, in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, Dinard is an emblematic seaside resort on the Brittany coast. Its listed aristocratic villas, views over Saint-Malo Bay, secret coves and nine kilometers of beaches give Dinard a unique charm.

Once a modest fishing village, it wasn't until around 1850 that Dinard underwent a metamorphosis with the rise of sea bathing in Europe. Attracted by the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast, British aristocrats made a major contribution to the town's economic development, transforming Dinard into a glamorous seaside resort.

Dinard's architectural style is unmistakable, with the famous “English touch” found in its 407 listed villas. With their elaborate roofs and façades decorated with pediments, sculptures and wrought-iron balconies, these Belle Époque villas create a breathtaking architectural panorama. Attracted by Dinard's elegance, many personalities have stayed here and contributed to its renown, including Winston Churchill, Jules Verne, Pablo Picasso and Oscar Wilde.

Along the Côte d'Émeraude, from Cancale to Cap Fréhel, via Dinard and Saint-Malo, you'll discover a host of magnificent sandy beaches. This is the perfect opportunity to take a deep breath of iodized air by indulging in a water sports activity, walking or cycling along the coast or relaxing on a beach. Off the coast, accessible by boat, you'll find islands that are sometimes uninhabited, offering unforgettable expeditions into the wilderness. The Côte d'Émeraude is also a gastronomic destination par excellence, where you can sample tasty Breton culinary specialities and freshly caught seafood.
