Brittany : Rochefort-en-Terre

 

Rochefort is a small medieval town overlooking a valley, which owes the exceptional quality of its architecture to a past steeped in art and history.

Rochefort-en-Terre is one of Brittany's most famous towns. The incredible floral decorations on its 16th and 17th century dwellings has won the town the highest ranking as a 'flowered village of France'. Rochefort-en-terre is the flagship of the "small Breton towns with character".
