Malestroit, “the Pearl of the Oust

Malestroit is part of the ” Petites Cités de Caractère de Bretagne ” which leave an unforgettable memory. Established on the side of a meander of the Oust river around the year 1000, its center has kept its medieval charm. Its timber-framed houses decorated with unusual or provocative figurines bear witness to its glorious past. The remarkable church of Saint-Gilles reveals its importance for the pilgrims on their way to Santiago in the Middle Ages.

The river has been the basis for the enrichment of the city since its foundation. In the 19th century, the expansion continued with the construction of the Nantes-Brest canal to facilitate the navigation of goods to the rest of Brittany and France.
