Posted in Bretagne, France

The wonderful pretty City of Dinard is in the dept 35 Ille et Vilaine of my lovely Bretagne and my belle France! We have come here and love it and came back for more. I like to use some pictures found in my vault that should be in my blog to tell you more of the city. Do see my other posts on Dinard in my blog. Therefore, let me show you the curiosities of Dinard, part III !!!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The rue Coppinger has become a dead end street on the opposite way it takes you to the pointe du Moulinet, Here you have the house or Maison dite Château des Deux Rives, at 4 rue Coppinger, The villa is at the narrowest point of the peninsula and close to the end of the boulevard near the swimming pool. This villa was modified in the early 20C to also incorporate medieval elements, and the roof with two further floors of rooms was added in the 1920s. It was initially done by the Lebanese Count Joseph Rochaïd Dahdah in August 1873, Later his three sons, Alphonse, Paul and Joseph, married into the French aristocracy and continued, after the death of their father in 1889, to play an important role in worldly life and sports of Dinard.

By 22 Bd de la Mer there is a house with an old lighthouse that stayed in their property, at the corner of a property on the immediate edge of the Port-Riou park, stands a pretty stone tower, which has always intrigued passers-by. The history of this tower dates back to the end of the 19C. Between 1879 and 1882, a whole group of buildings and gardens were built in this place, starting with a house, which was called Château Port-Riou, with its pleasure garden, its outbuildings, its vegetable garden, and finally a well, and a water tower, the pump of which will use wind energy. The mill lost its function, and its wind turbine gave way to a television antenna.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
