Rochefort-en-Terre, Medieval commune in Morbihan, France
The village stands on a rocky promontory, featuring stone houses with decorated facades, wooden beams, and numerous granite buildings along cobblestone streets.
The 12th-century castle underwent multiple transformations until American painter Alfred Klots acquired and renovated it in the early 1900s as an artists' residence.
The NAIA Museum, located within the castle grounds, exhibits contemporary fantasy art and kinetic sculptures in a medieval architectural setting.
The village center becomes fully pedestrian during summer months, allowing visitors to explore the Place du Puits and Rue Saint-Michel without vehicle traffic.
Local craftsmen mark their workshops with red pennants, offering direct contact with artisans who create and sell traditional Brittany products.
