| Location |
Léhon is almost too pretty to be true. The single street, leads from a romantic ruined castle atop a hill down to a little hump backed bridge over the river, passing a superb abbey church on the way. The street is pedestrianised and the stone cottages which line it are bedecked with flowers throughout the summer. The cottage is close to the bridge. Two doors further up is a small restaurant. Further up the cobbled street, past the abbey church and cloisters, is the heated open air swimming pool. Just past this, at the top of the village, there are indoor tennis courts. Also a bar/tabac and a baker with excellent baguettes, croissants and patisserie. A few minutes along the road towards Dinan is a superb butcher (who also has a few basic groceries. All within a few minutes stroll. For serious shopping the Leclerc hypermarket is a 5 minute drive. The walk along the river into Dinan port is about 25 minutes though it will possibly take longer as there are always ducks and moorhens to distract you and maybe even a kingfisher if you are very lucky. An alternative, rather unusual route, is up several flights of stone steps and through quiet residential streets straight into the town centre. This takes about 20 minutes. Dinan is a captivating town. The old centre is small enough to explore on foot but with plenty to provide interest for a stay of one or two weeks or more. Though it may look like a film set, Dinan is not just a tourist attraction. It is a vibrant town where people live and work throughout the year. The popular market is held on Thursday morning and is a great opportunity to sample local produce. During the summer there are many small events and attractions and every two years the town stages its well known Fête des Remparts, one of the biggest medieval festivals in Europe, when Dinan returns to the Middle Ages for a weekend of jousting, battles etc. Great fun for all the family. The dates of the next Fête are 18 & 19 July 2008. Brittany is famous for its superb seafood, crepes & galettes (sweet & savoury pancakes) and locally produced cider. Local activities include walking, cycling, swimming, canoeing, horseriding, tennis, golf, sailing. |
