Hotel Barrière le Grand Hotel Dinard 5*

Even by the high standards of the stylish resort of Dinard, the Hotel Barrière le Grand is a splendid hotel in the traditional style dating back to the 1850s. Close to the casino and the famous Clair de Lune promenade, its large terrace overlooks the sea and is a great place to sit and relax or perhaps a visit to its spa centre with gym, sauna and steam room appeals even more. Other facilities include an excellent restaurant, an indoor pool, tennis and bicycle hire. Close by there are also golf courses and riding stables. Hotel parking 32€/night. Pet accepted 35€/night.

Said to be the most British of the region's resorts, Dinard is lovely at any time of year and until the 1930s was France's most popular seaside location. With its Belle Epoque villas and stripey beach tents, it has over 400 listed buildings and boasts a casino, golf course, riding centre and an Olympic sized heated seawater swimming pool. The best way to see the town and points of interest is using a 'circuits decouverte' map available from the tourist office or taking part in one of their guided tours.

No visit here is complete without a stroll along the lovely Clair de Lune promenade (Moonlight Walk). Illuminated at night in July and August it is the perfect place for that evening amble before or after dinner. And in summer if you fancy a trip to St Malo but don't wish to drive, there is a little ferry that runs across the Rance estuary.
