Born in 987, the Millennium city rich in historical events and cultural mesmerizes visitors to its many charms. Formerly a pilgrimage to Compostela, this small town with character in the story came at the signing of a truce of many of the Hundred Years War in the Chapel of the Madeleine by the kings of France and England . The medieval stalls, Intramuros, are fine examples of the expansion and prosperity that gripped Malestroit, became one of the nine baronies of Britain in the late Middle Ages. Economic activity was essentially built around the textile industry (flax, hemp?), Leather and building materials (sand, tuff, slate?) From Pays de la Loire. But this time there was no question of borrowing the freeways! It was thanks to the Canal from Nantes to Brest and its surroundings through Malestroit that this work could be done. Beautiful Canal from Nantes to Brest: real economic artery, it was dug in the early 19th century and travels throughout Central Brittany. Today, its mission is more than tourism and is a delight for fans of river tourism. The passage remains a beautiful flower locks unusual sight over the water. But, back to the heart of the city that leaves no one indifferent. The eyes of visitors continue to move the church of St. Gilles, the Romanesque and Gothic mansions of the rich-timbered and carved beams. Underfoot, tiny cobbled alleyways and guide them in its history and splendor. It is for such legacies and efforts that Malestroit entered the circle of 19 Small Cities of Character of Britain. Furthermore, in recognition of the Canal from Nantes to Brest, Malestroit opened the doors of a House of Water and Fisheries, near the Lock.
