I told you my small town of Pluvigner is packed with goodies of old and now. Lots of heritage monuments all over and of course castles we have plenty. Even if most are private properties , as this one is now, Before it was open and even had a créperie inside we love it , sadly sold and close, Anyway let me tell you about the Château de Rimaison, part II !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.
Not to repeat but to give you a glimpse of it the castle or Château de Rimaison was abandoned in the 18C, and then was located in Bieuzy-les-Eaux, it was gradually dismantled and its stones were reused in the surrounding villages. In the mid-1950s, the ruins were bought by Mr Xavier Olivier L’Oreal Commercial Manager and transferred to the current site in Pluvigner.
The Château de Rimaison was rebuilt with three bodies of buildings connected in part by a two-stilt round path. The castle thus has a north wing, or houses of the Guards, from the 14-15C, a south wing, or House of the Dog, a 16C house and two large towers, the Hermine Tower and the Registry Tower. On a plot of 7,000 m2 , Fourteen rooms including seven bedrooms on four levels, the building covers 700 m2 with an outbuilding. There is a chapel here open on special occasions,

There you go folks, another gem in Pluvigner . They do allow into the Chapel on heritage days. They do all kinds of festivities here of local folklore and heritage that still goes on, . Nice property indeed worth a detour for the architecture on an open date, Again, hope you enjoy the Château de Rimaison, part II as I.
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
