Moncontour
Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France
Covering just 48 hectares, Moncontour is the smallest commune in the Côtes-d'Armor, a compact town on a small hill just above the point where the Évron meets a stream. Its château and the church of Saint-Mathurin, known for its listed stained glass, stand close to the Place Penthièvre, where you can stop for crêpes. The 18th-century economist Joachim Faiguet de Villeneuve was born here.
Highlights
- The church of Saint-Mathurin and its listed stained-glass windows
