The must-see places to visit in Combourg

Combourg, Cradle of Romanticism in Brittany

Nestled between Rennes, Saint-Malo, and Mont-Saint-Michel, Combourg is a small, charming town that charms with its peaceful atmosphere, rich heritage, and close connection to the writer François-René de Chateaubriand, an emblematic figure of French Romanticism.

🏰 Combourg Castle

Overlooking Lake Tranquille, the medieval castle is the town's flagship attraction. This is where Chateaubriand spent his childhood, and you can still visit his room in the mysterious Cat Tower, reputed to be haunted according to local legend. The guided tour immerses visitors in the history of Romanticism and feudal Brittany.

🌿 Lake Tranquille

This 22-hectare lake is an ideal place for a stroll. Bordered by water lilies and populated by grebes, it offers breathtaking views of the castle. A literary trail runs along its banks, punctuated by panels retracing Chateaubriand's youth.

🏘️ The Historic Center

Stroll through the cobbled streets of the town center, admire the half-timbered houses and granite facades, and discover remarkable buildings such as the Maison de la Lanterne, a former residence dating from the late 16th century where soldiers watched over the town, or the Relais des Princes, a 16th-century half-timbered house, formerly an important coaching inn at the crossroads of royal roads, bearing witness to Combourg's rich medieval and commercial past.

⛪ The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Nicknamed the "cathedral church" for its monumental appearance, it impresses with its neo-Gothic style and colorful stained-glass windows. It was designed to rival the cathedral of Dol-de-Bretagne.

🌽 The Corn Maze

For a unique family activity, head to the Corn Maze in Combourg, the largest in the region. This fun 6 km trail is perfect for young and old, with puzzles and games in the great outdoors.
