The town of Dinan (pop. 11,833), still surrounded by its old walls, lies on a hill above the left bank of the Rance, which from here to its mouth, between Dinard and St- Malo, widens into a fjord-like inlet. The old town with its 15th and 16th C houses (particularly in Rue du Jerzual) and the castle of Anne de Bretagne with its massive 14th C
keep 34 m/110ft high preserve something of Dinan's medieval atmosphere. The castle now houses a historical museum. The church of St- Sauveur (12th-16th C) is also worth a visit.
Cobac Park is a leisure park (area 8 hectares/20 acres) with a restaurant, a zoo, facilities for riding and a pleasure lake.
