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.

Châteaubriant Castle is a medieval castle transformed into a Renaissance palace. There you can discover the impressive fortifications, the elegant dwellings and the mysterious legend of Françoise de Foix, who died in the castle under mysterious circumstances. You can also admire the exhibition “In the Ink of Dreams”, which presents the works of contemporary artists inspired by the castle and its history. The castle is open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
