Château de Bagatelle

Château de Bagatelle is a manor house in Saint-Martin-des-Champs featuring an octagonal central section flanked by two rectangular pavilions at either end. The building displays windows characteristic of the Louis XV period, with a French-style garden positioned in front of its western facade.

Originally called Carman, the estate was built in the 18th century by Thomas-Charles de Morant. Its documented history begins with Pierre de Jollivet's written record in 1754.

The castle displays craftsmanship typical of 18th-century Breton noble families, particularly visible in the interior woodwork and facade details. Visitors can observe how these refined elements reflected the family's social standing and local prestige.

The property is located in Brittany near the town of Morlaix and can be reached from there. The French-style garden in front of the western side offers a natural starting point for exploring the grounds.

A small chapel dedicated to Saint Anne sits on the grounds and was built entirely of granite in 1772, with stone specifically quarried from the island of Île Callot. This unusual building material makes the chapel a distinctive feature often overlooked by visitors.
