Dinard's mild climate has made it a much sought-after resort since the end of the 19th century. Recommended by "Le Guide du Routard," The Parc des Tourelles , a handsome turn-of-the-century stone building is a very quiet, well-located hotel in the center of the town. The main town beach (la plage de l'Ecluse) is 500 meters from the hotel. Dinard's very popular market is open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and is only 300 meters away.
