The castle is a self-guided tour. A little tip: there are bike racks inside the castle, just beyond the entrance.

This greenway was built on the old railway line which linked Châteaubriant to Ploërmel. In its heyday at the start of the last century, trains were essentially freight trains that transported iron mined in the region.
