A beautiful page of Breton history

The Castle, built in the 16th century on the site of an old Gallo-Roman “villa”, brought up to date in the 18th century, is one of the most harmonious of the great Breton castles with its “attic” pavilions. , its chapel matching the cellar, the dovecote and the fruit tree framing the moat…
