Guided tours Ille-Et-Vilaine

This little train all dressed in white is called theOriental Express . It offers a fun, guided ride (40 minutes) perfect for the whole family. Let yourself be surprised by the high roofs, the paved courtyards, the castle and some stories of the city. The visit starts at the foot of the castle and continues through the garden that the illustrious Balzac, Chateaubriand or Hugo appreciated in their time before ending in the lower town and its half-timbered houses.

Classified as a Historic Monument, the castle, built from the 11th century, has changed a lot over the course of history. The Romanesque chapel, the oldest part of the castle, is now a magnificent exhibition space for contemporary art, Les 3 CHA. The main dwelling, built in the 14th century, is partly home to the Châteaugiron town hall. The guided tour offers an immersion in the fascinating history of the castle by admiring the different towers (1 h 30 of visit). This discovery of the fortress can also be done at night.

There is nothing like a guided tour of the historic heart of a city to fully grasp the spirit of the streets and buildings that surround us. As a city of art and history, Rennes allows us to discover through this way some parts of its past. From the Jacobins Convent to the Palace of the Parliament of Brittany, it is a journey through time that is proposed to you. From the beautiful mansions of the Place des Lices to the City Hall, passing in front of the defenses of the Portes Mordelaises and in the Saint-Pierre cathedral. The eras are crossed until you gradually return to the year 2022, right on time to go to lunch, the opportunity to stroll once again in the streets with this time a wise eye.
