We record 51 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 42 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Vitré (Vitré Castle) (open to visitors), Malouinière de la Ville-Bague (you can stay the night), Château de Châteaugiron (Châteaugiron Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Montmuran (Montmuran Castle) (341 reviews) and Château de Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier (a listed historic monument).

14 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 11 and the prices of 6 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 16 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 51 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
