What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
'Dinan markets'
"Dinan has a wonderful 'flea' market on Wednesdays and every Thursday in the centre of town is a huge typically French market in both main squares."
'Dine in Lehon'
"'La Petite Marmite' is an excellent restaurant less than 100 yards away from the Cottage. Merisse and Gerrard are very pleased to meet my visitors during their stay in the Cottage."
