Help regarding a certain town in France.....

A while back someone posted up a pic of a town in France that they had visited by bike. I can not remember the name but it could have started with a D maybe? Anyhow this town is meant to be a lovely looking place and i was hoping someone may know the place i am talking about. All i know it is south of Calais and maybe a 4 hour drive from there. Would like to take the misses for our 10th anniversary so any help would be much apprecieted

Cheers will look at pics this evening. I think i may have seen the pics just last year though. It is a part of France i never ride too as i always go to Alsace with the bike.

Err yeah LOL

It may well not even begin with D and am just hoping someone will recall a post they did maybe last year showing a pic of a lovely town and that it is pretty well known for being one of the prettiest in France or something like that.

I know it is a shot in the dark but i might get lucky.

I think you might mean Dinan, about 15 - 20 miles south of St Malo. It's a beautiful place, lovely half timbered buildings, on the river. It really is stunning. St Malo is worth a visit too, its medieval walls and medieval town centre with castle were rebuilt after WW2.

Spot on ED. Thanks a bunch and it is not much of a drive so will be perfect area for a long weekend.

Was it Dinan you were after? If that's the case great call Ed! I was thinking of Dijon maybe given the description of 4 hours south of Calais

Dinant in Belgium is nice too!


Not helping, sorry...

Belgium next time maybe

Anyhow all sorted now. Cross over Friday evening 26th March and stay in cheapo ETAP in Calais. Sat morning drive down to St Malo/ Dinan area and going to look for a nice hotel for a few nights. On way down we will stop at the interesting looking Mont St Michel for a good few hours. Sunday will be in Dinan and St Malo walled city areas. Drive back to Calais Monday and have a lunch stop in some place but not picked a town yet.

Hope she likes it all ... not told her where we are going, just to book the time off. For various reasons we can not do a longer trip so this will have to do.
