Vitré opens up its heart to you…
At the gateway to Brittany,
Normandy,
Maine and Anjou,
Vitré is a city of Art and History.
 
 
 
 
 

Let yourself fall under the charms of this medieval city with its fortified castle built upon a rocky outcrop. Walk through the narrow streets of the walled city
and admire the elegant slate-roofed buildings with their coloured half-timber frames.
Discover the Notre-Dame church, a veritable jewel
of flamboyant gothic art in Upper Brittany.

All of these treasures display the wealth of the overseas merchants who made the city prosper during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Surrounded by gentle nature and rolling landscape, set off to discover the history of this region where the famous 17th century letter writer Madame de Sévigné sojourned. Enjoy the museums, lakes, rivers and forests. Savour the small friendly inns and gourmet restaurants.
