Without wishing to contradict you, I think that you will find that the flights are to DINARD airport, at La Richardais, 4 miles or so outside Dinard which is on the coast. Dinan - a beautiful half-timbered city - is about 30 miles or so inland on the River Rance. Suggest you look up Dinard Airport's website for travelling to the airport details. It is rather an expensive town, being the 'in' place for the Brits from the 1900s partly because it had a casino and was a place to be 'seen'.

You could try all the usual suspects, Ibis, Campanile, Mercure, but I suspect that the Formule 1 and Etap hotels will be way out of the town centre.

You could also look at St Malo, just across the estuary, a romantic walled town, which may have cheaper hotels, especially outside the walls (extra-muros) rather than inside (intra-muros). Both towns have good accommodation lists on their Tourist Office websites.

And yes I would thoroughly recommend a day trip to Dinan, either by bus/train or by boat - ask for directions and info from the Tourist Offices!

It's a lovely area - especially when the sun shines!

HI,

You are right its Dinard, I don't know where Dinan came from, LOL. It's worked out better being Dinard as I have found a few 2 bedroom apartments for rent in the centre (I spent ages last night looking for places in Dinan!). My mom has been to Dinan and St. Malo and she visited a place I think called Concaule famous for oysters so I think they will have a great time. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Can anyone surjest somewhere to stay between dinard and dinan, we have 5 days to kill before we go to st malo for a week, we need to be close to bars and resterants as we have no car, we have looked dinan it self but it seems to be quite pricey as anyone got any help for me.

Pip
