Churches and Abbeys
Notre Dame Abbey.
You can visit the Abbey at Campeneac and see how the nuns live and work. If you wish you may pray in their church. At the monastic shop you can find a selection of the Abbey's products– home made chocolate, biscuits, cakes and stuff/

Chateau de Rochefort-en-Terre
This medieval fortress is set in the beautiful ancient town of Rochefort-En-Terre which, rather surprisingly, owes its fame to the fact that the famous painters Alfred and Trafford Klots resided there. It holds a collection of famous paintings and traditional sculptures. Even if you are not interested in the chateau, you must go here just to see the town itself, which is packed full of great places to eat.

La Roche Goyon or `The Fort La Latte` Roche Goyon draws its name from one of the oldest Breton Families. The Goyon`s became very important. Many of them were members of the Brittany parliament. They built the fort to be their `country residence` and it was designed to display the strength, power and standing of the family. Three hundred years later the castle was disposed of by the then `Ministry of War` and scheduled as a place of historic interest in 1925. It has been restored since then and is now open to visitors.

Saint-Savaur Abbey
The Romanesque tower was built in the twelfth century on the orders of The Duke of Brittany although the site itself was first declared holy in the middle of the eighth century. The abbey later became an important centre for trade between the interior and the coast.

The Fort National
Just off St Malo this granite fort built in 1689 was built to protect the northern French coast. You can take an English tour of the castle and enjoy the magnificent scenery and breathtaking views.

There are too many chateaux and castles to list in Brittany so I'm not even going to try. Needless to say that if these are your thing then you could quite easily spend a fortnight visiting them.

If you really want to see the full monty of local chateaux then why not ring up and order the free booklet describing them all for you.  Tel 00 33 2 97 72 05 14

Parc Chateau Plessis
Near the town of Auray and overlooking the Golfe du Morbihan, this park and chateau has a large collection of rare and ancient plants.

The Gardens of Brocéliande
These large gardens near Breal contain specialised plant collections such as the French national iris collection. In addition, there’s a variety of landscapes to explore, all with their own specialised plants.

Megaliths
Brittany is famous for its Megaliths (standing stones). These are basically large upright (schist) stones placed in a variety of patterns by ancient man. They are dotted around all over the place –the nearest and perhaps the most famous being about two miles away at Monteneuf. They can be quite interesting. Monteneuf`s are worth seeing for two reasons. Firstly, they are nearby and secondly they also have a recreation of a bronze age village built around them. If you are keen, you can also see them at Gavrinis and Locmariaquer.
