보세 최고의 사이클링 경로

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.

beautiful old town church

Bird watching possible!

This part of the greenway is really in a pitiful state. Holes, stones, moss.... the other part up to Fougères is new.

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 building at the stop is located on the former railway line from Nantes via Vitré and Fougeres to Mont Saint-Michel. The connection is called "Régalante". (see: https://de.francevelotourisme.com/radroute/regalante )
