Stopped in on our way north. Came to have a quick look at the from outside and for a walk. It's a small and navigating around is easy. Besided a pretty historic old part the of course is the heart of the town. And it's a pretty one. The first Châteaugiron was built in the mid-11th century by Anquetil, a Norman knight. The oldest part of the present is the Romanesque chapel dating back to the 12th century. Through inheritance the passed onto the families of Rieux, Laval, Acigné and Cossé-Brissac. The last, having abandoned the castle, sold it to the Le Prestre de Lazonnet family in 1701. They saved the from falling to ruin by restoring it. In 1936 the came into possession of the local council. At present Châteaugiron has several functions; its main body is used as the hall, the other parts are used as offices and the freestanding keep is used for exhibitions. You can walk around the and enjoy it's small park and gardens for free. Some fun art (huge ants on the tower) can be enjoyed too. It's a pretty and picturesque chateau and together with the old surely worth a stop and worth a look. The nearby Etang is a good spot for a walk and a picnic.
