Locking the roads of the kingdom of France and Normandy, Dinan is the medieval immense strategic importance: ducal town from 1283, the prosperous city over the years. In the military comes under the influence of the Dukes of Brittany Jean Le Roux and Jean II, added a vital economic size: Inland, the Rance to Dinan is a prosperous city in which grows the cloth trade and leather. In the fourteenth century, the monasteries have largely interest Ducal (Les Cordeliers, Jacobins), while Dinan is one of the main strongholds of Britain, under the leadership of Duke John IV.

Bonsoir Valérie,
J'aime beaucoup le point de vue sur cette jolie rue médiévale. La descente nous incite à pénétrer dans cette photo et les personnes au fond de la rue apportent de la profondeur à l'image. Juste dommage que le ciel soit si blanc, mais j'ai l'impression que le temps était gris.
Amicalement,
Olivier

Hi Valerie,
I know I repeat it under every your shot: the white sky is terrible, but except for that the photo is very well done. Nice POV here with this old street packed with old architecture. Would be a really picturesque view.
Nice catch

Dommage pour le cie,l mais un excellente vue de cette rue sinueuse qui descend vers la rivière (il me semble, daprès les quelques souvenirs de ma courte visite là-bas).

Bien cordialement,

Bonjour Valerie,

I remember well this street which goes up to the town from the river below. I spent few days here camping by the river and climbing this street to reach the town... if I don't remember wrong just after the curve of this photo at the right there is a small nice restaurant where I dined once...
So I really love this enchanting town and your very good photo which brought back the memories of a wonderful holiday I spent in Brittany in 2000. It's a lovely perspective you have chosen and the presence of those two persons makes the photo more alive. Fine colours and clarity too.

Merci pour le partage,
Amicalement,
Donato

Salut Valerie, Ceci est par exemple une petite ruelle da telles caractéristiques. Les rues pavées sont belles et créer une atmosphère intemporelle. J'aime l'ancienne architecture, le cadrage vertical est très approprié. Merci pour le partage et je vous souhaite un beau dimanche, Lisa

Hello!
Very nice composition here. I really like how you've captured several centuries of architecture here. I also like how you've boosted the few colors that are here that as a nice contrast to the stone. Nice photo

Sincerely,
Kate
