About Château de la Bourbansais
In the Ille-et-Vilaine, between Rennes and Dinan, the Château de la Bourbansais is a handsome château of the 16th to 18th centuries, unusual for combining a fine historic residence with beautiful gardens and its own zoological park. Still owned by the same family, the elegant château with its towers and richly furnished rooms is surrounded by formal French gardens, while the surrounding grounds are home to a lively zoo with tigers, giraffes, zebras, monkeys and many other animals, as well as demonstrations of falconry and hunting hounds. This combination of heritage, gardens and wildlife makes it an especially rewarding family visit. Elegant, historic and full of variety, the Château de la Bourbansais offers a delightful day out combining fine architecture, superb gardens and a zoo, a charming and family-friendly heritage stop in the green countryside of Brittany.
