nighttime. A medieval fortress and Renaissance building, Châteaubriant Castle recounts ten centuries of history. In the Middle Ages, Châteaubriant Castle was at the heart of the Marches of Brittany. It served as a stronghold defending the duchy against the Kingdom of France. The keep, ramparts, seigneurial chapel, and the medieval courtyard lodgings still bear witness to the power of this fortress. In the 16th century, the bailey became a residence opening onto the gardens. The castle gardens are open to the public from February to December.

The castle is a self-guided tour. A little tip: there are bike racks inside the castle, just beyond the entrance.

After a first visit to scout out the shop that made us want to come back, here we are back 2 months later on a little bike trip. We have valuable luggage and bikes. So we go in with our bikes in hand to see if it would be possible to put them away. The time it took us to approach the shop, a guy arrives in a van and without saying hello or any other formalities, tells us that our bikes have no place there. Very well sir, if bikes are not welcome, neither are we, goodbye to Mine Bleue 😤

In times long past - which we like to romanticize as the "good old days" - such washhouses, as well as a community bakery, were an integral part of public life on large estates or in villages.
