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
  • The Château de Moncontour, reached along the Venelle du château
  • Crêpes and medieval-themed dining around Place Penthièvre
  • A hilltop above the Évron valley, at the eastern end of the Mené hills
