Malestroit Town Square

Malestroit

It is very proud of its medieval roots, every year it hosts a three day medieval festival lots of knights, horses, peasants, straw and roasting chickens!..

The Nantes / Brest canal also runs through the centre of Malestroit. It is possible to hire a boat or a canoe to explore the waterway. The Nantes/Brest canal also has fantastic tow paths, brilliant for walking and cycling.  The nearby village of St. Marcel is an interesting spot to visit, and it houses a museum dedicated to the Breton Resistance movement. This is located on the ground where a battle against the Nazis took place, the battle having been won by the Resistance fighters. And if this isn't enough, Malestroit has one of the best weekly markets in the area!..
