The Fougères to Rennes journey links Europe's largest medieval fortress to the capital of Brittany, crossing the historic Breton Marches borderland. Fougères Castle, with its thirteen towers and three concentric walls embracing a rocky spur above the Nancon valley, is considered the largest medieval fortress in Europe, built from the 11th to 15th centuries as the eastern sentinel of the Duchy of Brittany. Victor Hugo was so impressed by its silhouette in 1836 that he drew it and used it as inspiration for his novel 'Ninety-Three'. Balzac also set his novel 'Les Chouans' in Fougères. The upper town features a 14th-century belfry, half-timbered houses on the Place du Marchix, and the flamboyant Gothic church of Saint-Leonard. The taxi is used by travellers connecting to the TGV at Rennes, professionals working in the Rennes metropolis, university students and tourists combining the castle visit with exploring Rennes.
Route
Route Fougères → Rennes
Your driver leaves Fougères on the D155, a well-maintained road crossing the Breton Marches countryside. You pass near the Fougères state forest, one of Brittany's finest with 1,650 hectares of centuries-old beech and oak. The road joins the N12, a toll-free dual carriageway forming the main east-west axis across northern Brittany. You cross the Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier area, marked by the 1488 battle that sealed Breton independence — the castle ruins, razed by Charles VIII, are still visible. After Saint-Aubin, the N12 runs through rolling bocage dotted with dairy farms and cider apple orchards. Arrival in Rennes is via the northern ring road. The journey takes 35 minutes normally, up to 50 minutes during rush hours.
