The Rance ( French pronunciation: [ʁɑ̃s] ; Breton: Renk, [ˈrẽŋk]) is a river of northwestern France. It is 103.6 km (64.4 mi) long. The semi-tidal river flows into the English Channel between Dinard and Saint-Malo.
Before reaching the Channel, its waters are barred by a 750 metre long dam forming the Rance tidal power plant.
