16世紀初頭、Bazouges-la-Pérouseには5,000人以上の人々が住み、農業と商業に従事していました。この街は、その路地や特徴的な建物の中に、かつての繁栄の多くの痕跡を残しています。

The Place du Marchix is located in the city's oldest district. The square takes its name from the Old French word "marchié," as Fougères's first market once took place here. The district is characterized by well-preserved half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th century, many of which are listed as historical monuments. The square was once a center for artisanal businesses such as tanneries and cloth manufacturers, which used the nearby river to process leather and fabrics.

The Église Saint-Léonard was built in the 12th century and acquired its present form in the flamboyant Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the French Revolution, the church was deprived of its sacred function, but in the 19th century, under architects such as Aristide Tourneux, it underwent extensive renovations, including a new main façade with a large rose window. Inside, 19th-century stained-glass windows depicting episodes from the life of Saint Léonard can be seen.

A prosperous trading town since the Middle Ages, Vitré has preserved its well-preserved heritage. With its fortified castle, cobbled streets, and half-timbered houses, the town offers plenty to see and do, making it perfect for a stroll. It's the perfect place to soak up the Breton atmosphere.

Château de Vitré is a castle worth seeing in this small, beautiful town.

The largest fortress in Europe, the castle of Fougères stands on a rocky outcrop surrounded by marshland. The first castle of Fougères was built around the turn of the millennium to defend the north-eastern part of the border area of the Duchy of Brittany. Built at the crossroads of important trade routes, this primitive fortress had the main objective of monitoring the powerful neighbors and preventing their raids on Breton lands. To the north, Normandy belonged to the kings of England at the time.

The church tower can be visited in high season, where you can discover an incredible panorama of Fougères as well as its monuments and the surrounding countryside. Here you will have the opportunity to discover the secret interior of its tower, its impressively large bell and of course... a spectacular 360° view of the city, the castle and the valley!

The beautiful stained glass windows are definitely worth seeing. The three-panel stained glass window above the south portal is the only completely preserved window from the time the church was built. It depicts Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and is marked with the year 1537. Fragments of older panes have been preserved in two other windows. In the tracery of one window, a crucifixion scene from around 1500 can be seen. On another pane, a section of an Annunciation scene, which was probably executed in 1473, the Archangel Gabriel is depicted.
