A lovely walled Breton town sitting on La Rance. It offers good restaurants throughout as well as the usual high standard little cafés the French do so well. The town is dominated by a large viaduct over the river as well as it's own castle. For shopping there's the hilly Rue du Jerzual. The more active types can rent a small boat or canoes and explore the river. There's also a fantastic riverside cycle lane heading north towards the village of La Vicomte.
