Vitre

Situated in the heart of the Brittany countryside only an hour and a half drive from the port of St.Malo, three hours from Caen and three and a half hours from Cherbourg. The Lake is nestled alongside a very quiet country lane only a few minutes away from the nearest villages with the bustling, historic town of Vitre only 20 minutes away.

This little town on the Breton marches possesses unsuspected treasures. If you can only spare a few hours, head for the castle, the focal point of the medieval town. This majestic symbol of Vitré’s might is a masterpiece of medieval military architecture.

 

An imposing romanesque doorway in the inner courtyard is all that remains of the first castle, built in the 11th and 12th centuries on a rocky spur overlooking the Villaine valley.

Vitre

After visiting the castle, go for a stroll about the town, where many of the 15th and 16th century streets are still almost intact. Multicoloured half-timbered houses abound, their upper storeys jutting out over the street, so as to provide a maximum amount of living space whilst occupying a minimum of land in the town where space was so limited.
Mont St. Michael

Also within easy reach (less than 2 hours) is the famous Monastery in the bay at Mont St. Michael - well worth a visit. The Aquarium at St Malo (an hour and a half). The beautiful beaches of the Loire Atlantique (around an hour and a half). The Loire Valley and Angers (around an hour). And if you fancy a bit further (around 2 hours)then there are the famous D-Day landing sites of Omaha Beach and Utah Beach with the American Cemetery and at Bayeaux there's the famous Tapestry depicting the Norman Conquest and also the British D-Day landing Cemetry.
