Tower offering a magnificent panoramic view of the Dinan region and the Rance valley.
Erected at the end of the 15th century by the Dinannais bourgeoisie, the Clock Tower towers 47 meters above the medieval town. In 1501, Duchess Anne granted the Dinannais the privilege of owning a clock in their communal tower. The mechanism, manufactured in Nantes and still visible today, is one of the oldest in Europe. The climb up the steps is rewarded by a breathtaking panorama of the Dinan region and the Rance valley. Also worth seeing is the film Dinan in 1750, based on computer-generated images.

Seul petit bémol pas de tarif groupé pour la visite du château...
Aucune précision non plus dur les dernières marches qui sont très raides.
En tout cas que vous soyez en famille, solo etc... une chose à voir c'est cette tour.
Wij zijn er vanuit Rennes een dagje met de trein heen geweest, 10:00 tot 18:15 en geen moment verveeld.
Voor de liefhebbers en kenners: in de basiliek van Saint Sauveur ligt het hart van Bertrand du Guesclin begraven samen met zijn eerste echtgenote Tiphaine Raquenel.
