A place that goes far beyond a simple “beautiful view”—although, it must be said, it probably offers the most stunning panorama of the Bay of Saint-Malo. Sunrises and sunsets here are simply remarkable, with light that completely transforms the landscape throughout the day.
But the Dinard Priory also has a touching history. The estate now belongs to the Diocese of the French Armed Forces, following a bequest from Madame de la Mettrie, a former military nurse during the First World War. A widow without children, she chose to pass on this peaceful place steeped in history—a detail that adds another dimension to the visit.
Just a short walk away, the Promenade du Clair de Lune (Moonlight Promenade) perfectly extends the experience. It’s an ideal starting point for exploring the coast or even embarking on a boat trip in the bay. From the water, you can discover the must-see sights in a whole new way: the Solidor Tower, the forts of Grand Bé and Petit Bé, and all the maritime history of Saint-Malo.
Between heritage sites, the sea horizon, and a soothing atmosphere, it's a place that invites both contemplation and understanding. A must-see, whether you're just passing through or curious to learn more about the region.
