Narrow streets of the old town - HFF

Moncontour is listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France". The narrow streets, timber-framed and granite stone houses and medieval ramparts will take you back in time.

RUELLES DE LA VIEILLE CITE. Moncontour est classée parmi les "Plus Beau Village de France". Les rues étroites, maisons à pans de bois et en granite ainsi que les remparts médiévaux vous feront remonter le temps.

IN DEN GASSEN DER ALTEN STADT. Moncontour ist als eines der "schönsten Dörfer Frankreichs" gelistet. Durch die engen Strassen, die Fachwerk- und Granitsteinhäuser sowie die mittelalterlichen Stadtmauern wird man in eine andere Zeit zurück versetzt.

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Thanks Isabel, yes, in Brittany it rains quite often. The good thing is: rarely for very long. For example it's raining in the morning, and in the afternoon you sweat under the sun... Have a nice (and not too hot...) Sunday.
