Situated on the banks of a lake, Jugon-les-lacs is a small city of character, nestled in the hollow of a valley. In the age of the Dukes of Brittany, Jugon-les-lacs was a fortified town, surrounded by rivers and lakes. It's this hydraulic wealth that gave the city an important place in Brittany's history. As a consequence of the prestigious past, and much to the delight of lovers of old buildings, there is still a host of stone-built manors, castles and ancient mansions, such as the Sevoy house, that dates back to the XVIIth century. Coming to Jugon means discovering Brittany off the beaten tracks, peaceful and dynamic at once. The city bears the label “Station Verte”, which awards outstanding nature sites and well fitted-out accommodations.

 

            The 70 hectare huge lake, fed by several rivers, provides great opportunities for all kinds of water sport activities. Anglers will enjoy the numerous spots well-stocked with fish, whether it be in the Grand Etang or in the basin of Arguenon: carp, trout, zander and pike are regularly rising to the bait. The region, that once was the county of Penthièvre, is a paradise for open air activities, and particularly for hiking. The GR (long distance trail) of Penthièvre leads you around a great number of sites well worth a visit.
