Château des Pères stands in Piré-Chancé (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Piré-Chancé, about thirty minutes from Rennes, the château des Pères stands on the former site of the Plessis-Guériff castle, whose origins trace back to a 12th century feudal mound. The current building, in Régence style, largely dates from the 18th century, when the medieval towers were pulled down in favour of more classical wings. The park, said to have been laid out in the 17th century under the influence of André Le Nôtre, now hosts a permanent outdoor exhibition of monumental sculptures.
What to know
- The estate today combines a sculpture park, a hotel and restaurant, and an events venue, so a visit is mainly about the grounds rather than the château's interior.
- The site draws visitors throughout the year and ranks among the most visited natural sites in the department.
- No verified information on opening times or admission prices is included here, so it is best to check directly with the estate.
- The visit takes place mostly outdoors, across a park of several hectares, which calls for a moderate amount of walking.
