From the bridge, enjoy the view of the ruins of the castle on the right bank of the Arguenon. In the 15th century, Gilles van Bretagne lived here, a poet and womanizer who lived a merry life, hence the expression "courir le guilledou" (to go on a woman hunt). But his brother, Duke Francis I of Brittany, suspected Gilles of plotting and had him imprisoned. Because he didn't die fast enough, he was then strangled. Before his death, however, Gilles subjected his brother to divine judgment, and the duke also died, tormented by remorse.
