Presentation

Explore the Porte Saint-Michel, Guérande’s iconic monument, and immerse yourself in the history of this fortified city. 

This site invites you to discover several centuries of history through its various rooms and collections, with exhibitions dedicated to the local heritage. 
The exploration continues along the ramparts, offering a privileged view of the walled town. 

Take advantage of guided tours that will give you access to little-known areas and thus a better understanding of the monument’s architecture and evolution. 
Families, meanwhile, can enjoy fun and immersive activities thanks to a varied programme. 
Find out more throughout the year on the museum’s website : Porte Saint-Michel | Musée - Château de Guérande

Further information:
Access with pushchairs is particularly difficult on the staircases between the different floors. We recommend using a baby carrier. A space is available to leave pushchairs, and baby carriers can be borrowed.
