La Villedubois, in Mordelles in the Ille-et-Vilaine department, is a group of buildings erected between the mid 17th century and the end of the 19th, on the site of a medieval manor. The long, austere residence combines timber framing and cob walls, alongside a chapel from the Louis XIV period and outbuildings from the 17th and 19th centuries. Owned by the same family since 1647, the estate now operates as a bed and breakfast and is not open to the public as a visitable monument.
