The château de Gazon stands in Pocé-les-Bois, in Ille-et-Vilaine, near the Cantache pond. Rebuilt at the end of the 17th century on the foundations of a medieval fortified house, it gained an ordered south facade in the 19th century along with a park shaped around the terrain and the old moat. Its most notable feature is the long tree-lined avenue, planted with a double row of trees over a kilometre long, said to be unique in Brittany.
