サン＝ローメルの洞窟・トップ5

Magnificent renovation to transform this castle into a hotel/restaurant.

a few kilometers along the coastline where you can both see the beautiful sea and enjoy walking in a forest. On this road you will encounter some tough climbs and descents.

At the foot of a pleasant tea room, the port of Notre-Dame du Guildo offers beautiful views of the castle on the other side of the Arguenon. You can observe it with tea in hand or cross the bridge to explore its ruins.

Gilles van Bretagne lived here in the 15th century, 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

guildo castle ruins with magnificent panorama

The Château du Guildo is located on a rocky outcrop, on the edge of the Arguenon estuary. This stronghold offered a strategic defensive position. It allowed control of both maritime and land passages. The current version of the castle was built from the 14th century. During excavations, however, traces of a first castle dating from the 11th century were found.

Very pleasant little bucolic path
