About the host
Hosted by Gîte Paradis
We fell in love with France many years ago, especially the charm, culture and slower pace of life that make it such a special place to escape to. Hosting became a natural extension of that passion, a way to share beautiful spaces and help others enjoy memorable experiences with the people they care about.
Over the past six years, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests from all over the world, and we truly love what we do. We enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories and offering local recommendations to help make each stay personal and unforgettable.
Whether you’re looking for relaxation, adventure or a little of both, we’re here to make sure you feel at home from the moment you arrive. We look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property
After exploring many beautiful regions of France, we were completely captivated by the charm and natural beauty of Brittany. The Côtes-d’Armor especially drew us in, with its dramatic coastline, peaceful rivers, historic towns and breathtaking scenery at every turn.
But what truly made this place feel special was the warmth of the local community and the relaxed, easygoing rhythm of life. It’s a place where you can slow down, connect with nature, embrace Breton culture and still enjoy plenty of adventure.
It’s a region that feels magical in every season and we love sharing that experience with our guests, helping them discover the hidden gems, favourite walks, markets and coastal villages that made us fall in love with Brittany in the first place.

What makes this property unique
What makes La Petite Madeleine truly unique is its exceptional position just one street back from the riverside on Dinan Port, close enough to enjoy the lively waterfront atmosphere, yet perfectly tucked away for peace and relaxation.
Step outside and within seconds you’re by the River Rance, surrounded by waterside cafés, restaurants, boats, towpath walks and cycle routes, with the famous Rue du Jerzual leading up to medieval Dinan just around the corner.
This rare location means you can park the car and explore everything on foot: from riverfront strolls and sunset dining to historic landmarks, artisan boutiques and bustling summer markets, all only a moment away, without the noise or crowds.
Set in a beautifully restored 17th-century building with two en-suite king bedrooms, La Petite Madeleine offers the perfect balance of charm, convenience and calm. It’s a peaceful retreat at the heart of Dinan Port, ideal for soaking up the atmosphere while enjoying your own quiet space.
