chateaubriant


The delightful medieval market town of Chateaubriant is about 20 minutes drive away and here you can find the major supermarkets, the colourful Wednesday market, a wide range of other shops, banks, bars, pavement cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets – and children are very welcome. Night life tends to centre around the bars and restaurants but there is also a bowling alley, cinema, theatre and Olympic sized swimming pool etc. 


The old town has an interesting chateau which is a mix of the medieval and the renaissance. Its grounds are open for the public to enjoy and in addition, the chateau hosts a number of events throughout the year such as concerts, plays and picnics, musical entertainment and open air cinema, many of which are free. The chateau’s ramparts offer a view over the town, the little river Chere, a fishing lake and the surrounding area including l’Eglise de Bere which is a well-known Romanesque church.
