Dol-de-Bretagne, Medieval commune in Ille-et-Vilaine, France.

The town lies at an elevation of 58 meters, featuring narrow streets that lead to a grand cathedral rising above the surrounding buildings.

Saint Samson established an abbey-bishopric in the 6th century, transforming Dol into a significant religious center during the early Middle Ages.

The cathedral displays architectural elements from different periods, with its gothic structure dominating the town's skyline and reflecting medieval engineering.

The railway station connects travelers to major cities including Paris and Rennes through high-speed train services and regional connections.

The town maintains ancient fruit groves planted by Saints Teilo and Samson in 549, marking their historical presence in the region.
