Quintin, Medieval commune in Brittany, France

The town stretches across 13 square kilometers of rolling terrain, with elevations ranging from 154 to 220 meters above sea level.

The settlement relocated from its original position near Vieux-Bourg after a plague epidemic and developed into a textile center with 300 weavers.

The annual Weavers' Festival in August presents traditional costumes, textile demonstrations, and contemporary linen fashion designs from emerging creators.

The town hall manages municipal services for 2,783 residents under Mayor Nicolas Carro, with regular markets held every Tuesday in the center.

Two castles share one park: a 13th-century structure damaged by wars and an incomplete 17th-century building with pavilion wings.

GPS coordinates: 48.40361,-2.91127
