    Tips

    March 3, 2023

    The town was born in the 11th century around a castle built by the lord of Matignon, whose heiress married Étienne Gouyon in the 12th century. It was a descendant of this lineage, Jacques III de Gouyon, lord of Matignon and de la Roche Gouyon, who bought in Paris in 1723 the private mansion then under construction which later became the residence of the Prime Minister.
    The son of the same Jacques III married Louise-Hippolyte Grimaldi and became Prince of Monaco. The current sovereigns are his descendants. Prince Albert thus holds, among other titles, that of Lord of Matignon. This is why during an event occurring in the princely family, the bells of the Breton village church are rung.
    If the original castle has disappeared, Matignon has a heritage of interest and offers the image of a village of nearly 1,700 inhabitants which combines the charms of the coast and the tranquility of a prosperous countryside.
