Break at Dinard

We are just back from a short break at the seaside town of Dinard in Brittany.  It's on the west side of the Rance estuary, on the other side from St Malo where the cross-channel ferries go.   Just three nights away, and not an especially long car journey, the idea being to get some sightseeing and cycling in, before we have some gîte visitors.

We set off early with the intention of making the journey part of the break, stopping on the way.   In the event, we had a coffee and bite to eat at the little village of Taden, by the Rance where it narrows, and we rode along the towpath for a bit.   Very pretty riverside scenery, the weather sunny and warm; ideal.  There was a sign on the path saying it was closed ahead, for 4 months' worth of work starting in November.  We figured that even in France they might have finished it by now, and we were right.
