The Basilica of Saint-Sauveur was founded around 1112 and combines Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It is famous as the burial place of the hero Bertrand du Guesclin. It has been a historic monument since 1862 and was elevated to a minor basilica in 1954. Noteworthy are the Romanesque west portal, the Gothic chapels, and the relief of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God, or - like so many French churches - to the Mother of God (“Notre-Dame”). The patronage here was chosen to be the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ himself, and the church in Dinan was dedicated to him under the title “SAINT SAUVEUR” - that is, as the Redeemer and Savior (Latin: “Salvator”).

At high tide it is the end of the headland, at low tide you can walk further to the next island.
