Révolte de Fouesnant, Civil uprising landmark in Fouesnant, France.
The Fouesnant Revolt gathered over 1,000 peasants against 160 national guards and gendarmes in a confrontation near the Kerbader chapel.
On July 10, 1792, farmer Alain Nedellec led local peasants against the revolutionary Legislative Assembly, marking an early sign of the Chouannerie movement.
The battle of Fouesnant reflects the complex relationship between rural Brittany populations and the French Revolutionary government's new administrative structure.
The revolt location extends from the Fouesnant town center to the Kerbader chapel, with several historical markers indicating key battle positions.
Jules Girardet captured this historical event in an oil painting from 1886, which is now displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Quimper.
