Dinard: a rich architectural heritage
Magnifying this famous Emerald Coast, so well described by the historian Eugène Herpin, the commune of Dinard became a very popular holiday resort for the English aristocracy from 1850 onwards. A reputation that is reflected in its very distinctive architecture. Sumptuous villas, 407 to be precise, built by its wealthy visitors, who have since made the small town, located a few minutes from the town of Saint-Malo and the Côtes-d'Armor, famous. A yacht charter in Dinard will give you the opportunity to admire its famous Dinard villas of all styles, the majority of which, designed by Auguste Poussineau, are concentrated in the Malouine district.
Passed down from generation to generation, each bourgeois house is unique and, often built on the side of a cliff, offers a magnificent 360-degree view of the Dinard countryside and the emerald sea. Pay attention to the villa des Roches Brumes, standing majestically in the allée des Douaniers. Designed in a neo-Louis XIII style in 1893 by the architect Alexandre Angier, this bourgeois residence stands at the end of the Pointe de la Malouine. Villa La Garde, Villa Saint-Germain and Villa de la Reine Hortense are also not to be missed.
