Vitré

Vitré is a medieval city located in the region of Brittany, France. The city has a rich cultural inheritance and is designated as a 'ville d'art et d'histoire', a town of artistic and historic significance. Vitré is home to a 13th-century castle, which dominates the surrounding countryside and offers a glimpse into the town's defensive role in the border region of Brittany. The city also features charming old streets, restored half-timbered houses, and elaborate porches. Visitors can explore the castle, which now serves as a town hall and museum, and enjoy the city's architectural beauties, which are highlighted at night with a subtle palette of white lights. The region is also closely linked to the history of the Marquise of Sévigné, a famous 17th-century writer, and features formal French-style gardens and a megalithic site, the Fairy Rock, which is over 4,000 years old
