On high ground by the Rance Estuary is a sumptuous English park that once formed the grounds of the Château de la Briantais.

The estate belonged to rich ship-owners, who built a baroque mansion here in 1666, and the eerie but handsome ruins of this building are still visible in the park.

A newer château from the 19th century is still going strong as a cultural centre, with art exhibitions and concerts for jazz and classical music.

Visit for meditative walks on avenues dotted with sculptures, and to see those exhilarating views.

You can see Saint-Malo, Dinard and the entirety of the Rance Estuary
