Rochefort-En-Terre
This medieval fortress is set in the beautiful ancient town of Rochefort-En-Terre which,
rather surprisingly, owes its fame to the fact that the famous painters Alfred and Trafford Klots
resided there. It holds a collection of famous paintings and traditional sculptures. You must go
here just to see the town itself, which is packed full of great places to eat.

Josselin
Josselin is the main stop over on the road of the Dukes of Brittany. The town is classified as a
small city of character not only due to it’s exceptional setting set into the hillside. It has
one of the wealthiest and ancient heritages linked to history of the region.
With its three majestic towers Josselin chateau dominates the valley of the river Ouest. Its striking
gothic design is well worth a look. Take a guided tour and look and learn about its fascinating history
