Visit to Fougères

22nd of April:


Fougères' major monument is a medieval stronghold built atop a granite ledge, which was part of the ultimately unsuccessful defence system of the Duchy of Britanny against French aggression. Fougères is a town of Art and History.

It reminds me Ronda (Spain - Andalucia), it was a fantastic sunny day and hot.

The castle is one of the biggest French castle, with a 2 hectares area. Constitués de trois enceintes, les remparts sont magnifiquement conservés. Si le logis seigneurial est en ruine, les tours s'élèvent encore avec majesté.

Le beffroi

It was the first one to be built in Britanny in 1397. It symbolizes the craftship dynanism searching for independency.
