The town of Vitre

Vitre Brittany

We were staying just over the border in Normandy in the small village of Le Tanu. The owner of the Gite we were staying at told us about the Medieval town of Vitre. We were visiting Forgeres which is not to far from Vitre and had time to see the town.

We were glad we did this is a great place. With its old narrow streets and buildings plus a castle.If you visit by car you can park on the car park next to the railway station. The old part of the town is just across the road. Places to eat in the town and a local Map.

Chateau De La Foltiere Hotel Fougeres

 Hotel chateau de la Foitiere

On the road to the famous 'Mont St Michel', near the medieval city of Fougeres, the castle of the Foltiere stands in the middle of the gorgeous botanical garden of High Brittany, covering fifty acres. The owners of that superb residence invite you to enjoy your stay in one of five comfortable and spacious rooms of their French chateau that let you benefit from a delightful surrounding and stunning view over the gardens. Lulled by the sound of running water, the colour and scent of flowers, you will find here a place to stroll, relax, and discover rare varieties of trees and plants. Four bedrooms and one suite.
