What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
'Dinan'
"If you prefer to visit Dinan which is one of the more unusual towns, the older part of it is on a hillside and there is a coastal area with wonderful visiting boats, cafes,shops and a tourist train which will take you on a complete tour of the old part and the riverside area, for just a few Euros. After, sit and relax in one of the coffee or tea shops or if you prefer a drink, then one of the many bars which offer a wide range of drinks for your delight."
'Normandy D-Day Landing Beaches'
"Take a day trip to the moving landing beaches or marvel at the ancient Bayeux tapestry and see history as it was portrayed all those years ago of the famous Battle of Hastings."
'Pontorson'
"You can walk to any of the numerous restaurants, bars, shops and take time out to enjoy the colourful weekly market, which is held on Wednesdays in the town square all year round. You will be spoilt for choice when you look at the local vegetables, cheeses, sausages or if you prefer seafood, then look for the delicious local mussels, fish or even the famous salt marsh lamb. Take some home and cook up a feast. You really will be spoilt for choice!
After shopping at the market drop into a speciality tea shop on the square have a coffee or sample one of the hundreds of teas available and don't forget to taste the delights of the homemade cakes or slice of one of the main supermarkets just across the road and about 150m walk away, so you can pop out for any shopping you want without the hassle of getting into the car."
'Rennes'
"If you want the city life then head off to the city of Rennes, about 50 mins drive away and a fascinating town full of charm and architectural beauty, lots of shops and of course a wide choice of cafes and restaurants. If you take an early morning drive to Rennes, you can even squeeze in a visit to Paris using the famous TGV rail. It takes about 3 hours on the train but worth it if you have not paid a visit there before."
