City walls of Dinan, Medieval ramparts in Dinan, France
The fortified walls of Dinan stretch for 2700 meters around the city, featuring guard towers and monumental gates built from cut stone blocks.
The ramparts, constructed around 1300 following Dinan's elevation to duchy status, received historical monument classification in July 1886.
The keep and chapel of the Dukes of Brittany, integrated into the walls, now house a museum displaying local religious statues and artifacts.
Visitors can walk the entire length of the fortifications by following the Promenade des Petits Fossés circular path around the medieval walls.
A section of Dinan's ramparts appears on the Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the surrender of the city to William the Conqueror in 1065.
