Tips
The best view of the castle and old Clisson on this bridge. But there can be a lot of walkers.
Stronghold of the region of the Marches of Brittany having notably belonged to Gilles de Rais who inspired the myth of Barbe Bleue; just like the castles of the lords of Retz in Tiffauges, Machecoul and Pornic, a few miles away. The region of the Marches of Brittany marked the border between the kingdom of France and Brittany and derived its wealth from the collection of taxes on the passage of goods between the two regions.
The center of Clisson offers a whole maze of alleys with its little discoveries, and in particular the leaning pine of the rue de la collegiate.translated by
