From Normandy to Brittany: Cancale, Saint Malo & Dinard Full Day Private Sightseeing Tour

Experience a day uncovering the treasures of the coastal region of Brittany, just a stone's throw from Normandy. Begin your adventure by exploring the captivating fishing town of Cancale. This picturesque village is celebrated for its Cancale oysters, cultivated for more than 100 years. Treat yourself to an oyster tasting at the town’s renowned oyster market, accompanied by sips of local cider.

Continue your tour to the mythical city of Saint Malo a place unlike any other, once an island of unparalleled charm. This corsair city, birthplace of Jacques Cartier and Chateaubriand, is defined by its towering ramparts overlooking the bustling port and pristine beaches. Step into its historic heart, the 'intra-muros', a haven since the 12th century, stroll along the cobble streets and explore the picturesque Sillon promenade, home to the Saint-Malo’s flotilla. Saint Malo promises awe-inspiring vistas, architectural marvels, and delightful boutiques. Don't miss the opportunity to taste the local butter cakes: Kouign-amann.

In Saint Malo you'll witness Europe's mightiest tides. As the sea swells, it crashes dramatically against the Sillon dike. When the sea recedes, it reveals vast sandbanks and rocky outcrops to explore at low tide—a spectacle not to be missed.

Your final stop is the elegant Dinard, a seaside resort frequented by aristocratic English visitors during the Belle Epoque of the 19th century. Adorned with art galleries, antique shops, and charming boutiques, the city's allure lies in its architectural richness, which will captivate you without a doubt. Explore its three stunning beaches, including Plage de l'Ecluse with its iconic blue and white-striped tents, providing a peek into the city's collection of over 400 beautifully preserved villas.

Take the time to stroll along charming paths such as the ‘Promenade du Clair de Lune’, a favorite among locals. In the summer, follow the ‘Chemin des Arts’, a route showcasing monumental contemporary sculptures, each year highlighting a different artist.

At the end of your day, return to your accommodation in Bayeux with fond memories of the elegant charm of Dinard and the beauty of Brittany in Normandy.
