5-Star Hotels in La Richardais

Just across the Rance River from the historic port of Dinard, La Richardais offers a quieter, more residential base for exploring Brittany’s Emerald Coast. The main draw is its direct access to the Rance Tidal Power Station, a fascinating feat of engineering you can tour, and the peaceful riverside paths perfect for cycling or a stroll to the Écluse du Chatelier lock. You’re perfectly positioned for day trips, with the Saint-Malo ramparts a short drive away and the ferry to Dinard departing regularly from the nearby quay.

This town suits travelers looking for good value and a calm atmosphere, particularly families and couples who want a mix of relaxation and easy exploration. Staying near the riverfront puts you closest to the walking trails and the small marina. While having a car is convenient for exploring the wider region, the local bus network connects you reliably to Dinard’s train station and the heart of Saint-Malo.

Accommodation here is mostly made up of modest, family-run hotels and holiday apartments, offering a practical and often more affordable alternative to the busier resorts. For example, you’ll find the Hôtel de la Rance on HOTEVI, a simple, welcoming hotel with river views that exemplifies the town’s unpretentious charm.
