Travel Tips: Dinard and Dinan

Dinard, France

In February, Paulo, Caro, Lushuana and I went to Dinard and Dinan, France. These are two beautiful and pittoresque cities on the northern coast of Bretagne, just off the English Channel. In French, the channel is called "La Manche" which actually translates as a sleeve. The sleeve of England, as it were. It's so fun up there! I recommend going in this order due to times and bus availability: Rennes-Dinard, Dinard-Dinan, Dinan-Rennes. The buses, with a Karte Korrigo from the Rennes Metropole or a student ID are only around 3 euros each way. Make sure that you do not miss your buses and DO NOT wait till the last bus! They will fill up and you can get stuck. 

Dinard, France

Check out the office of Tourisme in Dinard (just off the beach at the end of the bus line) and pick up a map. There are also always festivals, galleries or concerts in Dinard, so check out the cultural calendars and pick some stuff! Most importantly, have fun! Doing some spontaneous and inexpensive traveling is something for which students are perfectly fit!
