Dinan, FRANCE - Promenade de Fontaine des Eaux - Brittany:  Dinan is a walled Breton town and a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in northwestern France. On 1 January 2018, the former commune of Léhon was merged into Dinan.  The Fontaine-des-Eaux Valley was planted at the same time. In a book devoted to the subject, Charles Montécot mentions that while the virtues of the spring were undoubtedly known well before the seventeenth century, it was not until the eighteenth century that the first facilities were created. He points out that at that time access was not easy and the earthy hairpin bends of the Argentel valley did not facilitate the arrival of mineral water drinkers. In 1764, the community of Dinan asked for help from the States of Brittany "in order to build a communal road to access it". A subsidy, issued in 1766, enabled the first improvements to be made. In particular, an elm mall was planted on the Esplanade de la Fontaine.  Later, in the 1820s, a path called "Promenade de la Fontaine-des-Eaux" was created from La Ville-Préciaux to La Ville-Goudelin. It will be planted with a double avenue of lime trees.  This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition.  Mancel.  Dinan. No. 2084.
