Rants and Raves

While on a two week trip to France, we were fortunate enough to spend an afternoon in Dinon, located about 20 miles or so inland from the English Channel. "Old" Dinon is a walled city at the top of a steep hill composed of mostly medieval buildings. The "Chamber of Commerce" photo is usually of the riverfront port which is outside of the walls. The "old" city has mostly narrow cobblestone streets that were designed for walking, not for vehicles. One of the photos show the archway entrance into the walled city from the riverfront. Most of these properties are occupied and almost all are residences. And as in most French cities, there is a cathedral that dominates the landscape.
