Blue Beard’s Castle at Tiffauges
3 hectares packed with 400 years of history. Perched solidly on its rocky spur, Blue Beard’s Castle at Tiffauges invites you to discover its astonishing collection of medieval war machines. Catapulted back into history, you will become actors in its medieval adventure, but beware the ghost of Bluebeard which still haunts the ruins of this ancient fortress. In springtime, come and enjoy the three hours of spectacle and entertainment in the region’s greatest medieval visitor attraction. In July and August, the Castle presents «Gilles, la légende», an open-air theatrical pageant, and «Lueurs de pierres» late evening events every Wednesday.
