Le moyen âge vous regarde.

Le moyen âge vous regarde.
Le château de Vitré présente sa façade la plus majestueuse à l'est. Il s'élève au cœur de la ville, construit au 13° sècle, cet imposant bâtiment aux nombreuses tours (un des châteaux avec le plus de tourelles pointues), de hauts murs et de remparts, est accessible par un pont-levis entouré de douves. Aujourd'hui il abrite un musée sur l’histoire de Vitré ainsi que l'hôtel de ville.

THE MIDDLE AGES ARE WATCHING YOU. The castle of Vitré presents its most majestic facade to the east. It rises in the heart of the city, built in the 13th century, this imposing building with many towers (one of the castles with the most pointed turrets), high walls and ramparts is accessible by a drawbridge surrounded by a moat. Today it houses a museum on the history of Vitré as well as the town hall.
