See Europe's 'biggest castle' on a Brittany holiday

Visitors to the Fougeres region will note that it is dominated by a castle built in 10,000 AD and widely reported to be the biggest in the whole of Europe.

Guided tours are available around the castle, while its representatives claim that beyond the town walls the "forest and lush surroundings provide ample opportunities for walking and relaxation".

Fougeres could be a top choice for those who like walking holidays, gardens and pretty squares, because the gigantic castle represents just a small part of this beautiful town's charm with its fabulous fountains and statues.

A Brittany villa holiday offers something for everyone with its mild climate and unspoiled beaches, while there are a whole of host of cities that are teeming with history.
