From Fort La Latte to Dinan
In Brittany’s Côtes d’Armor. the Dinan-Cap Fréhel destination feels like a journey through time. You can discover the Middle Ages through various major sites such as:
Fort la Latte
Fort la Latte, or Château de la Roche Goyon, is one of the most famous castles in Brittany, built on a rocky cape. Constructed entirely of pink sandstone, the site is impregnable and the panorama over the Côte d’Emeraude is breath-taking.
Dinan, the mediaeval town
A town of art and history, which has majestically borne witness to the centuries like a history book. With three kilometres of ramparts, 14 monumental towers and gates, and 70 historical monuments, the town of Dinan has majestically endured the centuries, as illustrated by buildings from various periods. A beautiful panorama from the Jardin Anglais allows you to discover the port and the valley of the Rance, a veritable green lung at the foot of the mediaeval town.
Dinan – Cap Fréhel : nature preserved
Le Cap Fréhel : a remarkable natural site
With its 400 hectares of moors, here, nature is even wilder. The site, with its pink sandstone cliffs, unveils all its beauty in the springtime, when it comes into bloom with the purple and yellow colours of heather and gorse. (Although, of course, it is very beautiful all year round). La Fauconnière bird reserve is the second largest in the Côtes d’Armor, after the Sept-Îles. Cap Fréhel obtained the Grand Site de France label with its counterpart Cap d’Erquy in 2019: the Grand Site de France Cap D’Erquy Cap Fréhel.
