Dinard

Dinard

Elegant international beach resort, Dinard was first started by an American as a competitor for Brighton, England, in the 1860's. The magnificent changing views over the Rance estuary rapidly attracted numerous painters, as well as writers, such as Lawrence of Arabia and Agatha Christie.

You can't miss to appreciate the phenomenal tides reaching 40 feet on certain days, that were used by tide mills in the past and have inspired the French government to use this renewal energy. As early as the 1960's was built a 750-yard long dam that houses the 24 turbines of this power station.
