A monument to British film director Alfred Hitchcock appears in his customary suit, with birds perched upon his shoulders, recalling his film The Birds. It was installed as a tribute to Hitchcock to celebrate the town’s long‑standing Festival du Film britannique de Dinard, which honours British cinema each autumn, and to highlight the influence and legacy of one of its most celebrated figures. Gulls often perch on the statue, giving it a touch of realism.
