"La Maison Pavie provides a picture of what Brittany must have looked like during the Middle Ages. The original owners meticulously restored a 15th-century building — the birthplace of explorer Auguste Pavie — treasuring such features as the wattle-and-daub walls, massive exposed beams, and even a “pattes de lion” fireplace. For current owner and your host Sophie Bannier, this boutique bed and breakfast in Dinan is no less a personal passion." - Mark Fedeli
