Petite cité de caractère de Châteaugiron

Châteaugiron is a charming character town near Rennes, dominated by the high towers of its medieval castle.

There are also information boards throughout the old town to allow visitors to discover the streets, medieval houses and religious buildings. Guided tours of the castle and/or historic centre all year round for groups (booking required) and every day during July and August at 14.00 and 16.00.
