Magical town with a fairytale castle. (however, I recommend you swerve the Logis Hotel-Restaurant du Chateau). Or if you can find no other accommodation, at least avoid eating in the restaurant, which was one of the few outright poor places to eat I've found in France.

Very beautiful castle on the canalized Oust

The old castle is now partially open to the public. It looks very defensive.

Beautiful picturesque town with a spectacular castle and old half-timbered houses

It looks beautiful when you come along the bike path along the canal.

From this point, you have a superb view of the Josselin castle. There are opportunities for free and guided tours. The annual closure is from November 1 to April 8. The Castle dates from the beginning of the 11th century, when the nearby Viscount of Porhoët had a palisade built on this rocky promontory overlooking the Oust valley. In 1370, Olivier de Clisson, constable of France, had the fortress built.

The Château de Josselin is a two-faced building whose architectural details tell a thousand-year-old story. Standing on a rocky outcrop, it overlooks the Oust valley. On the river side, an austere facade evokes the feudal struggles of the Middle Ages. On the courtyard side, a more refined sculpted granite facade offers a particularly well-preserved example of Breton architecture from the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.

The Château de Pontivy, or Château des Rohan, was built between the middle of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century for and by the Viscounts of Rohan. Following the codes of Breton military architecture from the end of the 15th century, this castle is one of the last fortified castles to have been built in Brittany. You will notice that the facade allows adaptation to the development of fire artillery, but that particular attention is paid to comfort and decoration. The downspouts are worked, the skylights carved, and the interior of the castle is equipped with fireplaces and latrines, making it a little gem of comfort for the time. Two permanent exhibitions are housed there: one is dedicated to the sculptor Gaston Schweitzer, while the other is a more contemporary installation by Japanese artist Koki Watanabe. I personally loved the contrast offered by this rather austere facade with the charm of the half-timbered houses in the city center, which I invite you to take the time to discover.
