A relatively early painting by Russell Flint, as shown by the bathing costumes.
Dinard is a coastal town in Brittany, north wesern France.
Well known for many years by the Parisians wishing to take a short break by the sea.
Made popular by British and American visitors in the 19th century,
Dinard was France's top summer resort until the French Riviera took over in the 1930s.
The former fishing village attracted wealthy celebrities and businessmen as well as European royalty,
some of whom built fabulous villas.
Dinard is today, a well known seaside destination for the French and English.
For the french, this seaside town is similar in comparison .. Paris to Dinard, as London to Brighton.
