Châteaubriant, Medieval castle and Renaissance palace in Loire-Atlantique, France.
The Château de Châteaubriant combines an 11th-century fortress with a 16th-century palace, featuring preserved defensive walls and period furnishings throughout its chambers.
During World War II, the town gained historical significance as the location of a concentration camp where 27 resistance members were executed in 1941.
The town maintains the Foire de Béré, established in 1050, making it one of France's oldest continuous markets, drawing thousands of visitors each September.
The railway station connects to Rennes while the local Castelbus network provides transportation throughout the town and neighboring communities.
The fortress contains architectural elements from both Breton and French influences, reflecting its position as a strategic point between these historical territories.
