Looking for something different? The town of Dinan, Brittany, lies on a hill above the left bank of the Rance, and is still surrounded by its old walls. The old town, with its 15th and 16th C houses and the castle of Anne de Bretagne,help preserve something of Dinan's medieval atmosphere. The castle now houses an historical museum.

There is a good video, showing Dinan at this web site: http://www.dinan-tourisme.com/rance/region_video.php

After a day of painting with Frank, the cobbled stone streets with many shops, cafes and galleries could keep us occupied for hours. Down the hill to the port du Dinan we will find numerous artisans shops and quaint restaurants. Rick Steves calls Dinan Brittany's best medieval town center.

We'll spend the first and the last nights in Paris, to make it easy for you to arrive and leave France. We'll stop on the second night in the picturesque port of Honfleur to paint for two days. Many French artists, such as Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet painted there. Our day trip to Mont Saint Michel will also be of interest for subject matter.
