Messac - Dinan (or vice versa)
Follow the peaceful River Vilaine, stopping en route to visit the pretty town of Rennes, the capital of Brittany. Dinan is a perfect example of a medieval town on the banks of the River Rance. Its castle and 13th century ramparts are best viewed from the water. Plenty of opportunities exist along your route for on-shore fun; tennis and horse-riding at Betton, swimming at Lehon’s open air swimming pool and picnics on the lake at Combourg.
Messac
Base manager Loic Boulais welcomes you to Messac, the base is situated on the Vilaine River, and just a bridge away from the bustling town of Guipry on the other side of the river. The town houses some interesting local churches and has some lovely country tracks perfect for taking a walk and discovering the natural beauty of the region. Messac is also claimed by some to be the place where the abbot Vincent Cawiesel planted potatoes for the first time in France in 1771. Today the town is classified as a ‘green tourist station’ thanks to its excellent tourist and sporting facilities..
Dinan
Base manager Marcel Duport welcomes you to Dinan. Dinan is a medieval town, enclosed by ramparts overlooking the valley of the Rance (a spectacular sight). Try to keep a few hours available to visit this very lively town; it is at its best during the summer season. You will be able to visit the castle of the Duchess Anne and its museum, the Saint Sauveur Basilica and discover the old alleys including the famous Jerzual Road, the English Garden and the Clock Tower.
