Degas - Dinan, charming riverside apartment

Degas is one of six delightful holiday apartments inside the historic house of ‘Val Rive’, with beautiful riverside views of the Rance. It’s located in the quaint quartier of Léhon on the outskirts of the historic town of Dinan – one of the best-preserved medieval towns in France.
Whether visiting the local surroundings or exploring all that Brittany has to offer, Val Rive is the perfect base location. Excellent for walking or cycling holidays!

Degas’s accommodation consists of an open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area, with two bedrooms and shower room/WC. This ground-floor apartment is well equipped and furnished to a high standard in the Bréton style. It affords a beautiful view of the Rance river, and there is also a large, shared, terrace garden complete with patio area to enjoy. Private, off-road parking is situated next to the property.

Guests have access to the main building of Val Rive, the shared patio and large terraced garden. Inside Val Rive there is a room by the stairs on the ground floor with a washing machine, clothes horses and vacuum cleaner which you are free to use.

Built in 1814, Val Rive's setting is very picturesque – directly overlooking the medieval toll bridge which leads up to the 9th century Abbey and ancient ruined Chateau of Léhon. Indeed, Léhon has the status of ‘Petite Cité de Caractère' (small town of character) and visitors fall in love with it, returning year after year to this charming village.

The riverside paths following the River Rance in front of Val Rive lead into the tranquil Breton countryside – perfect for walking, cycling or taking a picnic – and to the scenic river harbour of ‘Port de Dinan’ where you’ll find many restaurants and brasseries. From here you can walk up the pretty cobbled street of Rue Jerzual, to the centre of Dinan. The Rance flows into the sea between Dinard and St Malo, and these picturesque seaside towns are well worth visiting too.

For those wishing to swim there is a 25m public swimming pool (outdoor heated, with waterslide) less than 5 minutes walk away. Léhon also has a tennis club, with four indoor courts and one outdoor court. Other activities in the area include: golf, hiking, fishing and many watersports.

There is much to explore in the surrounding region: rugged beaches, ruined castles, beautiful churches, and town squares with delightful cafes serving their local specialities – crepes, galettes (pancakes), butter cakes, shellfish, oysters from nearby Cancale, and Breton cider. A hire car is the easiest way to get around, but bicycles are great fun too. You might choose to cycle to Dinard along the old towpaths of the Rance valley that help make up the ‘voies vertes’ (green ways) network. Alternatively, you could rent a boat, canoe or kayak for an hour or two on the Rance.
