Wandering around Dinan Brittany France. Walking the Ru de Jerzual, the Port, Ramparts and old town.

Описание: Visiting Dinan in March 2022 the video takes you on a walk of the beautiful medieval street Ru de Jerual the down to the Harbour, followed by a stroll along the Ramparts with finally a walk through the historic upper town. Dinan is one of France's gems.

Hanging on the side of a cliff, Dinan is one of the most famous and magical villages in Brittany. In all of France really. If you only have time for one stop in Brittany, make it Dinan. It’s an impeccably preserved ancient city that escaped the bombing of WWII.

Dinan is a walled village with hefty ramparts, cobbled lanes, and half timbers everywhere. Dinan has barely changed since the middle ages. What could be more romantic?

The best thing to do in Dinan is to simply savour its old world charm. Wander the port, walk the ancient medieval walls (1.8 miles), admire the 14th century Chateau de Dinan, and visit St. Sauveur Basilica.

The basilica dates from the 12th century. It’s a charming blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It has striking modern stained glass in a well lit nave.

But Dinan’s absolute must see site isn’t really a site at all. It’s a street, the Rue du Jerzual.

It’s the pedestrianized main street that winds through the town down to the port. Along the way, you’ll pass half timbers with wisteria covered facades, art galleries, and shops.

Thank you for watching there are more Wandering around France videos in this series if you have enjoyed this one.

Many thanks
