Four streams cross Romagné, and the Couesnon borders the commune to the south. The hilly terrain shifts from a granite plateau in the north to slate outcrops in the southeast. The area’s architectural and commemorative history also has clear points of reference: Église Sainte-Anne dates back to the 10th or 11th century, while the British Memorial at La Tanceraie commemorates an event from 1944.

Streams and changing elevations

Vau Clairet, Touru, Bonne Fontaine and Vaugarny are the four streams that cross Romagné. In the north, a granite plateau lies at elevations between 120 and 171 metres. In the southeast, slate outcrops lie between 55 and 70 metres, with the land sloping down towards the Couesnon. The different parts of the landscape therefore differ both in their rock formations and their elevation: the northern granite area is higher, while the southeast slopes down towards the Couesnon. The waterways also have different relationships with the commune: the streams cross it, while the Couesnon borders its southern part.

Church, chapels and historical traces

Église Sainte-Anne in Romagné dates back to the 10th or 11th century. Its oldest parts include the bell tower, the small sacristy and the Romanesque west portal. The church thus combines an early date with specific architectural features: the Romanesque portal, bell tower and small sacristy are found in different parts of the building.

A different date marks Chapelle Sainte-Anne de la Bosserie: it was founded in 1602 following a vow made by wealthy citizens of Fougères. Chapelle de la Dauphinaye, also called Dauphinais, dates from the 13th century and is in ruins; part of its wall is still visible. Remains of the former priory of Dauphinais, built around 1300, have survived. These buildings represent different historical periods—from the church’s early origins, through the medieval priory, to the chapel’s foundation in 1602.

The British Memorial at La Tanceraie commemorates two British airmen who were shot down on 9 June 1944 during a reconnaissance flight. Croix de la Caillebotière is considered one of the oldest crosses in the Pays de Fougères. The two sites have different historical points of reference: the memorial focuses on a precisely dated event, while the cross is notable for its place within the Pays de Fougères.

Road link and walking trail

The N12 is a prominent road link for navigating the Romagné area. It separates the northern and southern parts and connects the A84 motorway with the Fougères ring road. If you plan to use this route, check road conditions before travelling.

For walkers, the municipal activities guide lists the walking route or circular trail “Romagné/Haute Morière”. Check local information before setting out. The named trail calls for a different kind of planning from the N12: it is for planning a walk, while the road concerns transport links and the division of the area.
