Dinan station

Dinan station is a railway station designed in the Art Deco style with geometric patterns throughout. It stands approximately 35 meters tall and handles regional train services connecting the town to other parts of Brittany.

The station opened in 1879 and underwent major renovation in 1932, marking two important phases in Brittany's railway development. Architect Georges-Robert Lefort designed it as part of the La Brohinière to Dinan railway line.

Artists Isidore Odorico and Charles Lesacq created decorative elements reflecting French design of the early 1900s. The station shows how much care went into making a functional building beautiful during that period.

The station remains in regular use for regional trains serving the Brittany area. Visitors can best appreciate the architecture by arriving during active train times when the platforms are busy.

The building holds dual protected status as both a Monument Historique and Patrimoine du XXe siècle. This recognition acknowledges both its architectural importance and its value as a 20th century heritage site.
