Clisson, Medieval commune in Loire-Atlantique, France.
Located at the confluence of the Sèvre Nantaise and Moine rivers, Clisson features granite bridges, stone buildings, and extensive castle ruins.
The Château de Clisson, constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries, served as a defensive fortress before sustaining damage during the War of Vendée.
The town architecture reflects strong Italian influences due to the reconstruction efforts led by sculptor François-Frédéric Lemot in the early 1800s.
The central market hall maintains a weekly Friday gathering since the 15th century, offering local products and regional specialties.
Clisson transforms each June into a major music destination as the site of Hellfest, drawing over 180,000 visitors for heavy metal performances.
