Château de la Briantais

Saint-Malo, France

The first manor on the site was built in 1666 by the Pointel family. Today the ruins of this original manor are still visible. The current Château de la Briantais was built by Eugene Sully-Brunet between 1850-1864. Today it is owned by the city of Saint-Malo and used for concerts and other events. The 27-hectares park is worth of seeing, including a chapel from 1778.

Nice park for a walk with plenty of seats & good views out to sea & of the Rance. Plenty of free parking.

How I love this park! Spectacular views over the Rance valley, beautiful walks, trees, flowers, views. So many paths to take, dogs are welcome and there is a buvette not far from the entrance! So perfect.

Tranquility is all we need. Very peaceful and quiet away from the madding crowds.

I really love this park, even more so since a little café opened there, where you can get a drink and a snack and hear some music. The park is huge, with lovely mature trees everywhere, which frame the views you get of the surrounding emerald sea. I always feel like I've topped up on good vibes after a walk around this park. Highly recommend!

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
