Take a day trip to this enchanting town—just a stone's throw from Mont Saint-Michel—and fall in love at first sight! 🏰 Dinan One-Day Itinerary Le Vieux Pont: The riverside entrance to the town Rue de Jerzual: Wind up this cobbled path lined with colorful half-timbered houses, passing the medieval Porte du Jerzual gate (locals jogged past me on the steep slope—how do they not slip?!) Église Saint-Malo: Sunlight streaming through stained glass created magical Rue de l’Apport: Iconic street dotted with traditional wooden houses Basilique Saint-Sauveur: A Gothic gem 🥨 Foodie Highlights Boulangerie Gât‘&Vous: Snagged Brittany's famous Kouign-Amann—buttery, caramelized layers with a crispy sugar crust! Pâtisserie Hébert: Delightful Chouquettes (sugar-dusted puffs) near Église Saint-Malo 🪐 Medieval Charm Half-timbered houses—built with ancient timber framing (no nails!)—line every street. Unique covered passageways beneath buildings showcase local architecture. ⚜️ My Magical Moment When my driver dropped me by the river, I gasped: the water mirrored the stone bridge and hilltop town like a storybook illustration. Wandering its lanes, I felt transported to the Middle Ages—every creaky floorboard and weathered beam whispered history. Dinan isn’t just a destination; it’s a time capsule. ✨ #FranceTravel #HiddenFrance #MontSaintMichel #Brittany #MedievalTown #TravelDiaries #Dinan #FrenchCountryside #Wanderlust
