What you can expect

  • Discover Dinan, its defensive walls, and its medieval city by immersing yourself in the 15th century. We offer you an immersive guided tour experience, led by a tour guide in historical outfit.

    Meet Barbe, the daughter of a master mason who, despite the restrictions of her time, mastered the art of construction and worked on numerous projects in the city. Knowledgeable about the history of her hometown and its notable figures, Barbe offers you a playful and informative tour of Dinan.

    This tour will take you through Dinan during the conflict between the King of France and the Duke of Brittany, which influenced the architecture of major Breton cities. You will understand how the ramparts and houses were built in the 15th century and fight preconceived ideas about the role of women in medieval society. Among the points of interest, you will visit the surroundings of the Duke's Tower, the small moats, several streets and squares of Dinan where Barbe will show you various medieval construction techniques, as well as the Place Saint-Sauveur and the Saint-Sauveur Basilica.

    This tour is not just a historical walk; it is an immersion into the heart of the Middle Ages where local history and anecdotes come together in a playful and interactive setting. Suitable for all, adults and children from 8 years old, let yourself be carried away by Barbe's energy for a tour enriched with historical tools and full of surprises.
