At the beginning of the 16th century, Bazouges-la-Pérouse had over 5,000 inhabitants, focused on agriculture and trade. The town retains many traces of this past prosperity along its alleyways and its characterful buildings.

The Jardin du Val Nançon stretches picturesquely along the Nançon River, framing the northern city walls of Fougères with lush greenery. Covering approximately two hectares, various themed areas invite exploration. This includes a botanical garden, the "Priest's Garden," a reference to the remains of an ancient abbey, a so-called "plant cage," and a colorfully landscaped slope. Of particular note is the contemporary glass art sculpture "L'œuvre à la vie" by Louis-Marie Catta from 2000, which represents peace and dialogue between cultures.

The bell tower, also called the belfry, was built by the townspeople in 1397 and is considered the oldest surviving building of its kind in Brittany. Architecturally, it is based on Flemish models that the cloth merchants of Fougères had encountered on their travels. The tower's largest bell is named "Roland Chapelle." In the past, the belfry served not only as a bell tower, but also as a fire watchtower and town hall. Today, the tower offers visitors impressive views of the medieval old town and its surroundings.

The Place du Marchix is located in the city's oldest district. The square takes its name from the Old French word "marchié," as Fougères's first market once took place here. The district is characterized by well-preserved half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th century, many of which are listed as historical monuments. The square was once a center for artisanal businesses such as tanneries and cloth manufacturers, which used the nearby river to process leather and fabrics.

The Lavoir du Nançon washhouse, located below the château, features two fireplaces where laundry was heated in large cauldrons to produce the lye needed for the washing process. The building remained in use until the early modern period.

The cadastral records of the Château Fort de Fougères mention two towers—the Tour Raoul and the Tour Surienne (also called "tour de Surienne")—dated between 1480 and 1485. The tower was part of the fortifications that were reinforced or rebuilt in the 15th century.

Dominated by one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, Fougères boasts magnificent ramparts, towers, and a perfectly preserved historic center. From the heights, the view takes in the Nançon Valley and its half-timbered houses, offering beautiful perspectives. It's an ideal stop along the Régalante to immerse yourself in Breton history before hitting the road again.
