About Château de Montmuran
In the Ille-et-Vilaine, at Les Iffs, the Château de Montmuran is a fine medieval fortress rich in history, famous as the place where the great Breton knight Bertrand du Guesclin, one of the heroes of the Hundred Years' War, was knighted and later married. Guarded by a splendid gatehouse with a working drawbridge, flanked by round towers and ringed by moats, the castle blends its powerful medieval defences with more comfortable later living quarters. Guided visits bring to life the age of chivalry and the deeds of Du Guesclin. Set in the green Breton countryside near the pretty village of Les Iffs, it offers an atmospheric journey into the Middle Ages. Historic, picturesque and steeped in the legend of Du Guesclin, the Château de Montmuran is a rewarding medieval stop in the heart of Brittany, a delight for lovers of castles and chivalry.
