Manoir de Bel-Air, Manor house in Brélès, France

The Manoir de Bel-Air features buildings arranged in a U-shape around an enclosed courtyard, with defensive elements including two watchtowers on the western facade.

The construction of the manor took place between 1585 and 1599 under François de Kerengar, replacing an older structure documented in 1462 called Kerangar.

Inside the manor, ornate painted fireplaces display carved faces believed to represent King Henry III and Catherine de Medici of France.

The manor sits on the north bank of Aber Ildut with direct sea access through a strategic quay, which facilitated maritime commerce for centuries.

An inscription above the main entrance reads 'Pray for Francis Kerengar who made me do Bel Air and named me 1599' in French.
