Private driver in Dinard

Dinard airport is in Pleurtuit, a few minutes from the resort. It is widely used by private and business aviation, which makes it the most direct way to reach the Emerald Coast. Your driver waits at the terminal at your actual arrival time, in contact with your operator if you wish.

By train, you arrive at Saint-Malo station on the other side of the estuary; the drive crosses the Rance barrage and takes around twenty minutes. We also meet arrivals at Rennes station and airport, about an hour away by road.

Dinard owes its character to the British and American families who settled here in the second half of the nineteenth century. They built hundreds of villas, now listed, perched on the rocky headlands. The Clair de Lune promenade follows the sea from Prieuré beach to the Pointe du Moulinet; beyond it lies Écluse beach, with its striped tents.

Many visitors stay in a villa. We handle arrivals and then day-to-day travel: the market, restaurants, beaches, dinners with friends. In the autumn the resort hosts its festival of British and Irish film.

• Airport welcome and settling in at the villa
• Dinners in Dinard, Saint-Malo or Cancale, returning whenever you choose
• Travel during the film festival

In Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, Dinard Golf, one of the oldest courses in France, runs along the cliffs above the sea. Your driver takes you there with your clubs and waits, or returns at the agreed time.

Westwards, the coast runs through Saint-Lunaire, Saint-Briac, Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer and Saint-Cast-le-Guildo to Fort La Latte and Cap Fréhel, whose pink sandstone cliffs rise high above the sea. It makes a magnificent half-day, best kept for clear weather.

Saint-Malo is just across the water. The road crosses the Rance barrage; your driver drops you at the foot of the ramparts for a walk or dinner and collects you afterwards. Dinan, a medieval town at the head of the estuary, is half an hour away.

Mont-Saint-Michel can be reached in about an hour. Leaving Dinard early, you arrive before the crowds and can return through Cancale for lunch. All of these journeys are arranged in English or in French, with the same driver throughout your stay.

A family arrive by private flight for a month’s holiday in a villa on the Pointe de la Malouine: a van for the passengers, a second vehicle for the luggage, then a driver available three days a week. A golfer wants to play Dinard, Pléneuf-Val-André and Saint-Malo over three days.

A producer invited to the film festival needs driving between his hotel, the screenings and the official dinners. Owners are expecting friends coming from Paris by train: a welcome at Saint-Malo station, then the return on Sunday evening. Each request is priced in advance, and the same driver follows the whole stay.
