Accommodation in Saint-Malo

A small ferry takes you from Saint-Malo to fashionable Dinard. From here you head straight south. You follow a disused railway track that takes you through a varied and peaceful landscape. After this Voie Verte the route takes you via green flower hills to the Breton interior and Taden castle. Continue to picturesque Port Dinan which is situated a little higher up. Here you have a wonderful view as well as a fine historic center. If you don't feel like cycling, you can also, in season, take the boat from Dinard to Port Dinan.

Accommodation in Dinan

Dinan has much to offer in galleries, restaurants and shops, you can easily spend a whole day here. In addition, you can take a bike tour in the green, hilly landscape south of Dinan. Here it's easy to believe you're in Cornwall in southern England. Strikingly similar are the massive, black granite houses, in summer often surrounded by beautiful flowers. You follow a quiet path along the Canal d'Ille et Rance and experience life along the canal. If you want, you can easily shorten the route.
