goods were looted on 18 March 1793 by about 300 bandits, later called chouans (= royalists). The turmoil sparked by the mass movement of 300 men lasted several days: on 19 March, women and children sound the alarm by hitting bells with hammers, as the fighters had been arrested the day before by the national guard of Montfort-sur-Meu. Of the 22 soldiers requested to form the conscript, only 5 men volunteered. The national guard only needed to fire a few times to make the insurgents panic; a dozen Breteillais were arrested, but most were released the next day. In 1794, the revolt of the chouans expanded. At La Herdrouais, Jean Éveillard, captain of the national guard, is assassinated on 31 December while resisting people wearing masks and looking for guns. Marie Gallais, his mother, and a half-sister suffered a similar fate on 16 December 1795. Tourism Management of tourism in Montfort-sur-Meu is entrusted by Montfort Community to the Tourist Office of the district of Montfort. Buildings and other sights Buildings Saint Malo church The body and the southern side of the church were built during the 16th century; its framework carries an inscription from 1503. The church is noteworthy for its porch, which has a carinated archway. Chapel of the Abbey This chapel, belonging to the abbey of Saint-Jacques de Montfort-sur-Meu, is built from schist and puddingstone. Chapel of La Riolais This chapel seems to have been built during the 17th century, even though the sculpted pediment located at the top of the eastern door seems to date from the 15th or 16th century. Strangely, this chapel is not orientated, for its core is to the south. Sights Pedestrian circuit "Le Pont Rozel" The "Pont Rozel" pedestrian circuit can be walked all year, in any season.
