Combourg

Combourg is found between Rennes and St Malo in north-east Brittany, in the Ille et Vilaine department.

Combourg is especially proud of two things: first, the Chateau de Combourg and second, the town's association with Chateaubriand, the famous French author.

The sturdy, turreted chateau is still owned by one of Chateaubriands descendants, and is open to the public. Not completely surprising - it houses various artefacts belonging to the late Chateaubriand.

The chateau is surrounded by well-maintained landscaped gardens.

If you are in the mood for chateaux, visit also the Chateau de Landal to the north of Combourg.
