Why visit
Visit Fougeres for a Brittany stop where the castle still dominates the town’s shape. Towers, walls, lower town, gardens, and stone streets give it a clear physical story. It works well between Rennes, Mont Saint-Michel, and smaller Brittany routes.
When to avoid
Do not visit Fougeres expecting a big-city museum day. It is a castle town, and the visit should stay focused. Check castle hours before routing through. Without the castle, the stop is pleasant but much thinner.
