Fougères Medieval City

Discover the medieval city of Fougères, home to the largest fortress in Europe. Explore its rich built heritage and its well-preserved medieval district, with its streets and public squares lined with half-timbered houses, its large churches and its beautiful gardens, all surrounding the banks of the Nançon River. An imposing belfry - the oldest in Brittany - is part of this unforgettable visit.

The exceptional heritage of Fougères has inspired great authors, including Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo and François René de Chateaubriand.
