Dinard or Dinan!

08/05/18 – Dinard, Brittany

We were confused on arrival as we had read about Dinan further inland, which was very different. The town is twinned with Newquay in UK and you could see why when we reached the beach. (Check out the google street view main image and have a look around!)

What started out as a sunny morning, the weather quickly changed. The wind picked up and was bitterly cold, perhaps marring our experience of the town a little. We had a walk around the market and the seafront, shared some frites (fries) and bought a baguette before heading back to the van.

Our original plan was to follow the coast around norther France, heading west and then south, but the forecast appeared gloomy for the foreseeable future, so it seemed a good opportunity to head to Dan’s parents place in Monteneuf, about 1.5 hours drive from where we currently were to take refuge for a few days.
