Herbignac covers approximately 71.43 square kilometers in the Loire-Atlantique department, with a population of 7,133 inhabitants as of 2021 and a density of about 100 residents per square kilometer.
During the 10th century, Herbignac became a major seigneurial jurisdiction under the influence of the Assérac lords, descendants of Scandinavian chiefs who established themselves at Ranrouët castle belonging to the Rieux family.
The Château de Ranrouët dominates the commune with its coat of arms featuring a three-tower castle, whose silhouette appears on the municipal logo, representing the local historical identity.
The town hall located at 1 avenue de la Monneraye coordinates cultural activities and local festivities, while the website www.herbignac.com provides updated information about community life.
From 1480 onwards, a pottery craft developed as a corporation under the authority of the lord of Trévelec, with this ceramic tradition flourishing until the French Revolution.
