The illustrious residence
of the Kings of France in Brittany

From the outside, it’s a fortress with a 500 m path around dotted with seven towers and linked by curtain walls.
Inside, the castle houses an elegant ducal palace of the 15th century made from tufa stone, done in a flamboyant gothic style and sporting the first hints of Renaissance inspiration and buildings dating between the 16th and 18th centuries. The white colour and sculpted refinement of the palace contrasts with the harshness of the exterior walls made of granite blocks separated by shale.
