Within walking distance of our charming hotel in Saint Malothe Saint-Servan district lies at the mouth of the Rance River. During your walking tour, you'll have the opportunity to discover the incredible Fort de la Cité d'Aleth, built between 1759 and 1761 on top of the great rock during the Seven Years' War, as well as the Rance dam, the charming town of Dinard and the rest of the wild valley.
