The town of Dinan is located in the French department of Côtes-d'Armor, in the north of the country. This medieval town is picturesquely situated on a hill and has preserved many historic monuments, some of which date back to the 13th century, e.g. the town’s defensive walls. There had been a great fire in Dinan, after which most of the buildings - previously wooden – were rebuilt, however, dark stone was used as a building material. The town also boasts a stone bridge (Viaduc de Dinan). The intimate atmosphere is conducive to walking town on the Rance River.
