For your group tours, schedule a day of immersion in history with a visit to a must-see medieval town: Dinan. Following the steps of an enthusiastic guide, explore the majestic Ducal Tower of Dinan Castle and its ramparts, and wander through the streets and squares of the city where you will learn about the medieval construction techniques that shaped its unique architecture. Depending on your options, you can also combine this discovery with a hike at Cap Fréhel.
Dive into the 15th century in Dinan, guided by Barbe, a stonemason’s apprentice and brickmaker who worked on numerous city projects.
Amidst the conflict between the King of France and the Duke of Brittany, Dinan must fortify itself. The impact is evident in the architecture of the city, as well as in the major cities of Brittany. Discover the daily life of Dinan’s residents as they work on building new defenses for the city.
Equipped with her tools, Barbe will guide you along the ramparts and through the narrow streets of the medieval city, discussing the construction of a rampart or house in the 15th century. She will also share stories about her hometown and the notable figures who have visited it.
