From May 31 to September 20, the City of Dinard presents at the Palais des Arts et du Festival an exhibition dedicated to Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985), a major artist of the second half of the 20th century.

The exhibition Jean Dubuffet. The Swell of the Virtual offers an in-depth immersion into one of his most emblematic and prolific cycles: L'Hourloupe. Through a collection of one hundred and fifty works (paintings, drawings, sculptures, models, etc.), the exhibition traces the genesis and successive developments of this immediately recognizable graphic universe, made up of sinuous and hatched lines in shades of red, blue, white and black.

"The most British of French cities" presents, from August 10th to 14th, A BRITISH MUSIC FESTIVAL

Founded in the 1850s, Dinard owes much to British influence. Many wealthy tourists and members of the literary and artistic elite arrived from the British Isles to enjoy the local climate. Numerous existing villas and the English church of Saint-Barthélemy bear witness to this influence.

This strong link between Dinard and the United Kingdom remains vibrant and visible. For over 30 years, the Dinard British Film Festival has fostered these connections, as has the town's twinning with Newquay in Cornwall. The Dinard Opening Festival further strengthens this link through music.

Mixing many musical genres (baroque, classical, folk, rock) that the British master best, the Dinard Opening festival attracts a wide audience. Each evening, it will take place in the city, in theatres, on outdoor stages and in unusual places – churches, hotel lobbies, gardens… English music, but also Welsh, Scottish and Irish music will be featured.

What a pretty market and you can go there on foot from Clos de la Fontaine (around 400m)!

It is good to linger there and take the time to hunt for some good products. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful markets in the region.

Around the market halls , which are open every morning of the week, many merchants come to sell clothes, groceries, crafts, fruits and vegetables, meat, fish and seafood.

The little culinary extras: a coffee or a small white wine at the Café des Anges, a sausage galette to take away (the best in my opinion is the one from Pleudihen), rillettes from Lepage sous les halles, or mussels a la plancha at the Morisseau workshop.

Practical information:
