Bonnemain: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Accommodation in Bonnemain
Bonnemain is characterised by historic buildings, monumental crosses and paths alongside ponds. Between ecclesiastical architecture, regional history and experiences in nature, the town offers a variety of facets.
Architecture and history
The Moulin à eau de La Chaise watermill dates from the 16th century and is one of the oldest watermills still visible in the Ille-et-Vilaine département. It retains its granite-built weir; nearby there is a small structure considered to be a fishing facility, while the waterwheel has been removed.
The present-day parish church of Saint-Martin, Saint-Samson in Bonnemain was rebuilt from 1883 onwards. It is a Neo-Gothic building with a Latin-cross floor plan and rib vaults. The portal of the former enclosure of the 14th-century church of Bonnemain was rebuilt at the entrance to the present-day cemetery.
Bonnemain has a significant collection of monumental crosses. The Croix de La Ville Blanche is a granite wayside cross with a recessed niche containing a figure. The Croix de La Haute Barbotaie is dated 1541 and is the oldest cross in Bonnemain.
Water and paths
The Circuit des Étangs is a 9 km hiking route taking approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. The route leads into the Domaine des Ormes, a tourist complex with a golf course, campsite, tree houses, hotel and equestrian centre.
The Étang de La Sablonnière is a 4.3-hectare pond. For eight months of the year, from the beginning of October to the end of May, it is dedicated to fly fishing; in summer, all forms of fishing are permitted. The pond provides a habitat for dragonflies, great crested grebes, mallards and coots.
