Dinard, a seaside resort in Brittany and a favourite destination of American and English vacationers since the early 20th century, is offering a wide range of cultural events this summer. Following German Film Week and before British Film Week, which will be presided over by the actress Monica Bellucci, the city will be setting up the judge’s tents for a showjumping competition attended by the world’s top riders.
