Cap Fréhel and Fort la Latte

From Dinan, it is a brief train ride to some breathtaking sceneries. To the west of the Rance river, beyond Dinard, begins the green of the Cote d'Emeraude. There is the Cap Fréhel, a high warm expanse of heath and cliffs with views extending on good days as far as the Channel Islands. To the east is the Fort la Latte with its tower containing a cannonball factory and which is regularly as a film set.
