Château de Bel-Air stands in Le Pertre (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

North of the village of Le Pertre, the château de Bel-Air stands out for its two-stage architectural history: a first neo-Gothic building erected in the 1870s, followed by a Louis XIII style reconstruction in the early 20th century, deemed more fitting to its owner's ambitions. The estate retains a coherent ensemble with its park, French-style garden, statuary and walled kitchen garden. The surrounding buildings, gatekeeper's house, former manor, gatehouse, outbuildings, clock and well, reflect life on a large rural Breton estate.
