REDUCED in price - Now you want to live in the countryside and enjoy a big city nearby? Well, come in and visit me at this Chateau.

You will be surprised by the serenity of these places 20 minutes from Rennes. You can start the visit by the park of 5 Hectares by taking the path that goes around it, you will pass in front of the granite benches sitting in the middle of the flowers of the fields, you will be surprised by the flight of the peacocks perching in the trees, the Vegetable garden, undergrowth, stocks of wood ready to put in the chimneys, and the inevitable cave of the virgin.

The setting is magnificent: Lebanon cedars, purple beech, chestnut trees, walnut trees, oaks, rhododendrons, roses, plane trees, etc.

Along the way you will have discovered the imposing Louis XIII style house (bricks and tufts) under different angles.

You are now invited to climb the steps of the steps and discover this entry to the Jobbe-Duval decor, on the floor still remains the grid, witness of the old heating mode.

Living room, bright dining room with balcony and overlooking the valley, wide staircase leading to the floors.

You will notice that there is no corridor, the staircase being centralised, the access of the different rooms are directly on the vast landings, that the building is healthy and without damage caused by infiltrations, pieces in their Juice, bathrooms from the beginning of the century. Although the decoration remains to be done, the central heating is to be envisaged even if the owners have installed the boiler which currently heats only the garden floor.

Some figures: 11 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, shower room in a large bedroom, living room, kitchen, American kitchen, office, fruit cellar and 1 outbuilding. Well.

Tax Fonciere is about 900 euros a year.

The department of Ille-et-Vilaine is the oldest in Brittany with gentle rolling countryside, forests, dunes and marshes to the north. The English Channel is to the north, Lower Normandy to the east, Pays de la Loire to the east and south, Morbihan and Cotes-d'Armor to the west.

Ille-et-Vilaine's coastline heads westward from Mont-Saint-Michel to an estuary 5 miles west of Dinard and includes the rocky Cote d'Émeraude and the Rance River estuary where the towns of Saint-Malo and Dinard are located.

Rennes, the department's capital, is located centrally and is situated on the Ille et Rance Canal which connects the north flowing Rance river with the Vilaine river that flows south-westerly into the Atlantic.

Oysters are still cultivated along the coast near Cancale but as the fishing industry has declined, the coastal resorts have become important tourist destinations.

Also, don't forget to visit the Saturday morning market in the medieval town of Fougeres.
