Menhir of Champ-Dolent

Highlight • Monument

It is the most imposing menhir in the region, standing almost 10 meters high. Its contour is 8.70 m on its widest part.
According to legend, two brothers and their armies clashed there. The celestial hand separated the warriors, a rock then fell from the sky, and penetrated heavily into the earth. Since then, this menhir sinks steadily an inch per century; the day when the stone of the Champ Dolent is completely buried, it is said that the world will end.

Combourg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built between the twelfth and the fourteenth century, the Château de Combourg is a marvel. But what makes it really essential is the work of one of these illustrious occupants, the writer François René de Chateaubriand. Alone and frightened, the young Chateaubriand hears at night the ghost of a cat and a wooden leg pacing the corridors and the stairs. He will be inspired by his childhood experience for the writing of his book "Memories from beyond the grave". Even today some members of the castle staff feel a presence.
This haunted fortress can be visited. For information visit the following site: chateau-combourg.com
