The ruins of the Château du Guildo rise above the mouth of the Arguenon.
The castle was once the property of Prince Gilles of Brittany, whom his own brother, Duke François I of Brittany, had imprisoned and murdered for quarrels over inheritance and prestige.

View of Gilles de Bretagne Castle from Pont René Pleven

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the bridge, enjoy the view of the ruins of the castle on the right bank of the Arguenon. In the 15th century, Gilles van Bretagne lived here, a poet and womanizer who lived a merry life, hence the expression "courir le guilledou" (to go on a woman hunt). But his brother, Duke Francis I of Brittany, suspected Gilles of plotting and had him imprisoned. Because he didn't die fast enough, he was then strangled. Before his death, however, Gilles subjected his brother to divine judgment, and the duke also died, tormented by remorse.

At the foot of a pleasant tea room, the port of Notre-Dame du Guildo offers beautiful views of the castle on the other side of the Arguenon. You can observe it with tea in hand or cross the bridge to explore its ruins.
