On the wall



The map
Vitré stands in eastern Brittany, close to the border with Normandy and Maine, on a rocky spur above the valley of the Vilaine. It was a frontier stronghold, and the plan still shows it: a compact old town inside a ring of ramparts, with the castle at the western point overlooking the river.
Inside the walls, narrow streets are lined with half-timbered houses, many built by merchants who grew rich in the cloth trade. The railway between Paris and Rennes runs just south of the old town. Nearby is the Château des Rochers, the home of the letter-writer Madame de Sévigné.
A Vitré map poster shows the difference between the tight medieval core and the looser streets that grew up around it later. The Vilaine curves along the northern edge, and the ramparts are still easy to trace on the map.
The castle sits at the western tip of the old town, where the spur drops toward the Vilaine. It is the natural anchor of the map.
The line of the old walls still defines the historic centre, a dense cluster of narrow streets that stands apart from the later town.
The young Vilaine River winds below the town to the north. It traces a soft, low curve beneath the fortified hill.

Why Vitré
Vitré is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Brittany, and the map shows why: the old walled core is still clearly visible. It makes a thoughtful print for anyone who lives here or has walked its streets.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with a wedding date or a street name, and pick one of five styles. Paper suits the half-timbered old town, and Noir makes the rampart outline stand out.
