Presentation

The Porte Saint-Michel, with its ramparts, is THE emblematic monument of Guérande. You will explore its 2 facets: the historical monument with medieval architecture and the museum through its temporary exhibitions.
The Porte Saint-Michel, guardian of the entrance to the medieval town of Guérande, reveals its fascinating history to those who visit it. Both a defensive fortification and the residence of the captain, then the governor, this structure, listed as a Monument Historique since 1889, embodies the city's prestige in the Middle Ages.

Explore the unique medieval interiors open to visitors, tour over a third of the ramparts, and immerse yourself in Guérande's history and heritage through captivating temporary exhibitions at the museum. A must-see on any trip to Guérande, the Porte Saint-Michel invites you to relive the town's past over the centuries.
From July 2024, from the first floor, digitally explore floors inaccessible to people with reduced mobility.
Stroller parking and baby carrier loan (deposit required).
