Glimpses of history: Built on the site of the original 13th century Chateau d'Auray, from cut granite stone auctioned when the chateau was demolished in 1550, the Manoir stores a rich and long history in its walls. It has been renovated by France's master craftsmen. During the renovation we unearthed many traces of the past, from original fireplaces hidden behind modern facades to the chateau-style floor in the living room, equally well concealed under hardboard and which could be restored only by France’s master craftsmen. The higher wall visible from the Garden wall is believed to be part of the Chateau's keep.
Visit the iconic, picturesque port of Saint Goustain, across the 12th century bridge, a few meters from the Manoir. This is where Benjamin Franklin arrived in 1776 to seek France’s support for American Independence. You will enjoy walking along the top of the ramparts that overlook the river. Hike upstream to the Champs des Martyrs, legacy of the Royal Navy's involvement in the 'Quiberon Affair' in 1795 and read the inscription (be warned: it is in Latin!). Five minutes by car brings you to world famous Saint-Anne d'Auray. Visited by Pope John Paul II in 1996 and by over half a million pilgrims and tourists every year, the basilica is situated on the spot where, in 1624, a local ploughman had a vision of Saint-Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary. Many other must-sees only a few minutes drive away. An ideal place for whatever you want to do!
