The Château de la Rouërie stands in Val-Couesnon, in Ille-et-Vilaine, on the foundations of a medieval stronghold. Rebuilt and altered over three successive periods, in 1624, 1730 and then 1824, it retains interior woodwork dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The estate is linked to the memory of Armand Tuffin de la Rouërie, a figure of the American War of Independence and founder of the Breton chouannerie, before passing to the Barbier du Mans de Chalais family, who still own it today.
