Combourg
Ille et Vilaine, Brittany
Combourg is in NE Brittany between Dinan and Fougères. The picturesque old town of Combourg stands on the edge of a lake and is dominated by an imposing feudal castle with its pepperpot towers and crenellated parapet walk. The castle once belonged to the Du Guesclin family and later to the Chateaubriands. The dreamy and melancholic soul of the great Romantic writer François-René de Chateaubriand was formed in the gloomy rooms and corridors of the Chateau.
