Vitré - Ille-et-Vilainehome > regions > Ille-et-Vilaine > places of interest > VitréAn important centre in the middle ages, Vitré was famous for its cloth which was exported to Europe and America. It is a charming town with a splendid château and possibly the best collection of medieval streets and buildings in Brittany. The château and museum are open every day from July to the end of September. Eglise Notre Dame, built in the 15th century in flamboyant gothic style has superb stained glass. A few kilometres to the south east is the Château des Rochers Sévigné, home to Madame de Sévigné, notorious for her witty and rather bitchy observations on life at Louis XIV’s court. The château grounds are now an attractive golf course.
