Malestroit, Bretagne, France, August_2019_322

            Its history and commercial dynamism make the little town of Malestroit seem bigger than it looks! Labelled a ‘Small town of character’ (‘Petit Cité de Caractère’) Malestroit has fascinating historic streets that lead from the banks of the River Oust to the walled town, lined with stone facades and half-timbered houses. As you explore this ancient town you’ll come across some interesting sculptures, relics of a tumultuous history and prosperous trading past.

Set in a loop of the River Oust, Malestroit was founded in the 11th century, overlooked by a feudal motte and later a fortress, built on an island between the two arms of the river, controlling the passage along the waterway. In the 16th century, the construction of two chamber locks, among the first in France, linked Malestroit to Redon; trade flourished and this led to the town’s expansion. Four suburbs grew up around the historic centre and its ruined ramparts. Narrow streets open out towards the Nantes-Brest Canal, the lock and the tow path.
