Supermarkets: Groceries are upstairs in the Monoprix (Mon-Sat 9:00-20:00, in summer
also open Sun 9:00-13:00, 7 Rue du Marchix). Or try Carrefour City on Place
Duclos-Pinot (Mon-Sat 7:00-21:00, Sun 9:00-13:00).
Bike Rental: The TI has up-to-date information on bike-rental places. Try to rent your
bike at the port, to avoid riding down and back up a big hill.
Taxi: Call 06 08 00 80 90 ( www.taxi-dinan.com ) . Figure about €50-60 to St-Malo and
€100 to Mont St-Michel.
Tourist Train: This petit train runs a circuit connecting the port and upper old town (€6,
runs every 40 minutes, leaves in the old town from in front of the Théâtre des Ja-
cobins, a block off Place du Guesclin).
Picnic Park: ThesmallbutfloweryJardinAnglaishidesbehindtheChurchofSt.Sauveur.
Self-Guided Walk
Welcome to Dinan
(See “Dinan” map, here . )
Frankly, I wouldn't go through a turnstile in Dinan. The attraction is the town itself. Enjoy
the old town center, ramble around the ramparts, and explore the old riverfront harbor.
Here are some ideas, laced together as a relaxed one-hour walk (not including exploring
the port). Start near the TI, and as you wander, notice the pride locals take in their Breton
culture.
• Start in the center of Place du Guesclin, and find the statue of the horseback rider.
