Rochefort-en-Terre is a small medieval village on a granite spur in inland Morbihan, about forty kilometres east of Vannes. The old centre — a single high street lined with stone and half-timbered houses, all dressed with flower boxes — is one of the most photogenic in Brittany.
The château, originally built in the twelfth century, was restored by the American painter Alfred Klots in the early twentieth and is now open as a museum in season. The village hosts a small craft and antiques market on summer weekends. Best out of season — in July and August the lanes are very busy with coach parties.
