Château de Suscinio – just a few kilometers from Le Goh Velin campsite, is a manor house built in the early 13th century by Pierre de Dreux, Duke of Brittany. At first, perhaps a simple “hunting lodge”! His son Jean I continued the work, but it was mainly Jean IV and Jean V of the House of Montfort, from the 14th to the mid-15th century, who added most of the castle’s defensive features. Badly damaged during the French Revolution, Château de Suscinio has benefited from a highly beneficial restoration campaign under the aegis of the Département du Morbihan, which owns it. Near your Sarzeau campsite, visit this beautiful medieval fortified castle with its 4 to 5-metre deep moat, drawbridge, walkway, curtain walls, 6 towers, loopholes and machicolations, signs of its defensive character and symbol of ducal power. Also worth seeing are the banqueting hall, the steam rooms and the magnificent pavement of the château chapel. Open April to September, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (9.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. in July and August). Magnificent sound and light show at nightfall from 9/7 to 29/8 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as other events. Admission €12 for adults and €6.50 for children aged 10 to 17.
