Dinan|A French town that is not quite French.

Middle Ages | Little Britain By mistake I came all the way from Saint-Malo in the morning, and when I got there, I found it was just an ordinary European town. There were no cobblestone streets. After careful checking, I realized that I had accidentally arrived at the new town of Dinant. That’s what Google Location does. After repositioning ourselves, passing the castle gate and a section of city wall under repair, we saw a large parking lot and a tourist information center in front of us. With a guide map, you won't be nervous. You can follow the map and plan your itinerary in advance. Although the destination may lose some mystery, you won't go wrong in the end. Statue of Bertrand du Guesclin I was using the public toilet next to the parking lot and saw his statue. This location is really not very grand. He was known as the "Eagle of Brittany" and was an outstanding military leader and national hero in the early days of the Hundred Years' War in France. He died of dysentery during a military expedition in 1380 and was buried in the Basilica of Saint-Denis for the Kings of France; his heart is deposited in the church of Saint-Sauveur at Dinant. The French like to do this, separating the "body" and the "mind". Tour de l'Horloge bell tower It is very conspicuous. Although it is only more than 45 meters, it can be seen from a distance. I queued up but didn't reach the top, missing the chance to have a bird's eye view of Dinant, which was a pity. Crêperie Pizzéria d'Armor S.A.R.L I didn’t order crepes. I had them in Saint-Malo and didn’t like them very much. They were not as satisfying as the cannoli. There is an exquisite and lovely second-hand jewelry store opposite. I waited for a long time, but the owner still didn't come back, which was a pity. Saint-Malo and Dinan Eglise There are two Catholic churches very close to each other, and their stained glass windows are very gorgeous. Strolling in the ancient alley Walking northeast from the clock tower is La rue du Jerzual. The closer to the river, the steeper the slope becomes, and you will reach Petit-Fort ancient lane. On both sides are typical Breton buildings with exposed wooden structures painted in different colors, which look a bit like underwear worn outside. The weather cleared up at this time. Walking along the cobblestone road towards the river, some small shops are also artists' studios. Through the windows, you can see unfinished manuscripts on the desks. The sun was shining brighter and brighter, and the streets were mostly filled with tourists, walking slowly. Imagine Anne, Duchess of Brittany's carriage clattering down this cobblestone road.
