Rochers-Sévigné castle, former Breton residence of Madame de Sevigne, is a Gothic manor house of the fifteenth century near Vitré in Ille-et-Vilaine. The house is built on an L-shaped plan and has two towers. There is also an octagonal chapel, built by Madame de Sevigne in 1671 for her uncle, the Abbe de Coulanges, named the Bien-Bon, stables and commons added in the eighteenth century. At the bottom of the garden, a wall in the shape of an arc causes an echo when one is placed on a slab. Madame de Sevigne used it to read to her daughter.
