リュイレのおすすめツーリングルート

The Jardin Public is centrally located in the city and extends over several terraces offering sweeping views of the old town and the Château de Fougères. Created in 1865, the park combines features of an English landscape garden, French garden architecture, and botanical design.

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.

Dominated by one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, Fougères boasts magnificent ramparts, towers, and a perfectly preserved historic center. From the heights, the view takes in the Nançon Valley and its half-timbered houses, offering beautiful perspectives. It's an ideal stop along the Régalante to immerse yourself in Breton history before hitting the road again.

The renowned landscape painter and avant-garde colorist Emmanuel de la Villéon, who associated with the greatest independent painters of his time, experimented with different styles and brushstrokes. This collection of oil, pastel, gouache, charcoal, and ink paintings traces his career through selected works. The museum is usually open during school holidays in Zone B. The museum is currently closed due to leaks!

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!

This Guinguette de Villanfray is a superb spot for a break in the shade, a drink or a snack, and even a game of pétanque. I recommend this relaxing spot with a view of the Château de Villanfray.

A nice place for a break
