Notes on accommodation
Although the villa walls are thick stone making the rooms naturally cool, ceiling fans have been provided in every room to make even the warmest summer day comfortable, especially for sleeping at night. Parking in Dinan's 'District Historique' is sometimes difficult to find due to the large number of visitors; however you have an easily accessible parking space on site at the rear of the villa.
Outside
Traditional 'Boule' court and barbecue terrace overlooking the medieval ramparts.
Coast/Beach
The coast can be reached by car in 35 minutes, where there are quaint fishing villages, romantic islands, castles and monasteries, sandy beaches and coves. All an easy day trip from Dinan.
Golf
Several excellent golf courses are within an easy drive at St. Cast le Guildo, Dinard and St. Malo.

The nearest airport is at Dinard about 25 minutes from Dinan by car or taxi. The drive times to ferry ports are: 30 minutes to St. Malo; Cherbourg 2 hrs.; Le Havre 2.5 hrs.; Dieppe 3.5 hrs.; Boulogne 4.5 hrs.; Calais 5 hrs.

Distances
The front of the villa is on Rue Michel and the rear on Rue du Petit Fort, two of the most popular streets in Dinan.
