By Rail
You can also get to Brittany by train. Eurostar has a fast, regular service from London (St. Pancras International) to Paris Gare du Nord station. At Paris Montparnasse station there is a quick and frequent service to Rennes, from which there’s a connection to Dinan, via Lamballe. However, this last leg of the journey is slow and infrequent, so the very cheap and hourly bus service from Rennes station to Dinan might be a more preferable option (it takes just over an hour).
