Dinard's small
airport
, served by Ryanair flights from London Stansted, is 4km southeast of the town centre, off the D168 near Pleurtuit. TIV
bus
#56, timed to connect with the Ryanair flights, runs via Dinard proper to St-Malo's
gare SNCF
and Porte St-Vincent for a 20F/a?¬3.05 flat fare. Many visitors simply come over for the day on one of the regular A?meraude Lines
boats
from St-Malo; tickets can be bought in Dinard at 27 av George-V, above the pleasure port. A couple of hundred metres west is the
tourist office
, in the centre at 2 bd FA©art (Easter-June & Sept Mon-Sat 9am-12.15pm & 2-7pm; July & Aug daily 9.30am-7.30pm; rest of year Mon-Sat 9am-12.15pm & 2-6pm; tel 02.99.46.94.12,
dinard.office.de.tourisme@wanadoo.fr
).
Dinard tends to be an expensive place to stay, but it does have a wide selection of
hotels
to choose from, many of which can be found on the Web at
www.dinard-hotel-plus.com
. Options include the central and very English
HA?tel-Restaurant Altair
, 18 bd FA©art (tel 02.99.46.13.58, fax 02.99.88.20.49; 160-220F/a?¬24-34), a little way inland from the tourist office, and two nice places near the pleasure port: the
HA?tel-Restaurant Printania
, 5 av George-V (tel 02.99.46.13.07, fax 02.99.46.26.32; 300-400F/a?¬46-61; closed mid-Nov to mid-March), on the quiet street as it drops to the port, with a magnificent terrace restaurant looking over towards St-Malo; and the
HA?tel-Restaurant de la VallA©e
, 6 av George-V (tel 02.99.46.94.00, fax 02.99.88.22.47; 220-600F/a?¬34-91), which unfortunately faces the wrong way for views of St-Malo, and whose most basic rooms look straight onto a bare cliff.
Campsites
include the municipal
Port Blanc
, also near the plage du Port-Blanc on rue du Sergent-Boulanger (tel 02.99.46.10.74; closed Oct-March), and
La Ville Mauny
(tel 02.99.46.94.73; closed mid-Sept to mid-April), in the woods southwest of the centre. Other useful information
