From its rocky promontory, the castle dominates the Verzée valley and proudly defends the kingdom of France on the Marches de Bretagne. Since the 13th century, its six towers have witnessed fierce battles between French and Bretons.
To visit the fortress of Pouancé is to cross almost four centuries of the history of France in the footsteps of the Hundred Years War, of John II of Alençon - companion of Joan of Arc - or of Bertrand du Guesclin.
Explore the remains of the medieval castle of Pouancé and experience an immersion in the heart of history.
