Moncontour, Brittany travel guide
Moncontour is in northern Brittany, in the Cotes d'Armor region to the south of Lamballe.
With some of the other towns in the region, Moncontour was once the centre of Brittany's renowned linen production (said to be the best linen in the world at its peak, in the 17th century).
The centre of the walled town has some attractive medieval buildings - houses of the gentry from the 17th century, bought from the proceeds of linen and some colombage houses - around the central marketplace.
The church of Saint-Mathurin also deserves a visit for the lovely stained glass windows.
In the region, the Mercantour district have planned lots of routes through the countryside for walking, cycling and horse-riding, each following a particular theme - visit the tourist office for more information.
