Parc et Château de Loyat

This vast 18th-century château, designed and built by architect Olivier Delourme for the Coëtlogon family, is located near the Forest of Brocéliande. The château and its grounds, covering more than 100 hectares, are listed as a Historic Monument. You will be welcomed and guided through the heart of a family home. The guided tour of the interiors gives you an insight into life in the 18th century. Discover the grand entrance hall, the kitchens and the main suite of furnished salons. In this exceptional setting, a thousand unusual objects will take you back in time.

With its terraces and perspectives, the park is a fine example of 18th-century garden design and provides a natural setting for the château. Come and stroll, picnic, admire the remarkable trees and satisfy your curiosity in the quercetum (a conservatory of over 50 species of oak). Here, nature reigns supreme. Relax and listen to the birds singing. The Loyat area is home to 72 species! See if you can spot the jay, the great spotted woodpecker, the white wagtail and more.

Loyat Castle provides picnic tables for your use. Take the time to enjoy lunch on the castle lawns, sheltered by tall trees. Enjoy traditional wooden outdoor games with your children, which we provide for your use. Bookings on the castle website: · www.chateau-loyat.com
