L'Étrillet stands in Bruz (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Set at the confluence of the Seiche and Vilaine rivers in Bruz, the Étrillet estate is a former manor dating from the late 15th century, later turned into a farm and now run as an eco-site open to the public. Two original dwellings, arranged around a courtyard and built of schist rubblestone, have survived largely intact. The grounds also hold the ruins of a 17th-century chapel dedicated to Saint James and Saint John the Evangelist, currently being restored. Pilgrims walking the Breton section of the Way of Saint James often pass through the site.

Written from L'Étrillet

What to know

  • The site is run as an associative eco-domain, with educational activities and participatory restoration workshops.
  • The 17th-century chapel survives only as ruins, located in the northeast corner of the garden.
  • The estate lies in the Pont-Réan area south of Bruz, close to the bridge of the same name and the Boël site.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are available from the data gathered, so it is worth checking directly with the association beforehand.
