Its geographical setting is exceptional. Instead of
nestling on the valley floor like Morlaix, most urban development has been on
the hillside, overlooking the river Rance. The area alongside the
River Rance is known as the port of Dinan and is connected to the town by the
steep streets Rue Jerzual and its continuation outside the walls the Rue
de Petit Fort. This river has moderate turbidity and its
brownish water is somewhat low in velocity due to the slight gradient of the
watercourse.For
many years, the bridge over the River Rance at Dinan was the
most northerly crossing point on the river, but the tidal
power station
at the mouth of the estuary, constructed in the 1960s downstream from Dinan,
incorporates a 750 metre long tidal barrage which doubles as a crossing point
nearer to the sea.
Wondering through the city, we are off towards the River Rance.
Heading upward hoping for over views of the city.
