Combourg
Day 1: Welcome to Combourg, in the heart of romantic Brittany!
The precious Petite Cité de Caractère® can be visited at your own pace. You can feel the spirit of the writer François- René de Chateaubriand, precursor of Romanticism, everywhere, from the majestic castle in which he grew up, right up to Lac Tranquille which the 11th century building overlooks. Lose yourself in the narrow streets and immerse yourself in history: the timber-framed houses transport you back to the Middle Ages, while the Maisons de la Lanterne and the Templiers smack of cloak-and-dagger films! Then stroll along the shores of Lac Tranquille. Listen carefully: you can only hear the song of the birds that inhabit the lake and the wind blowing through the reeds and trees.
It feels really good, doesn’t it? You’re un-con-nected!
