Châteaubriant
Châteaubriant is a town in the Loire-Atlantique department of western France, on the old border between Brittany and Anjou. Its castle, begun in the eleventh century and enlarged with a Renaissance palace by Jean de Laval in the sixteenth, was one of the fortresses guarding the Breton march. In 1941 the German occupiers shot 27 hostages there, among them Guy Môquet.
