Sitting high on a rocky promontory above the valley of Gueuzon and the River Arz, Rochefort-en-Terre is a village in the countryside of the Morbihan departement of south-west Brittany. Not only classified as one of the ‘Plus Beau Villages de France’ it has also been designated a ‘Petite Cité de Caractére’ and a ‘Ville Fleurie’, making it one of the Brittany’s most visited sites. As well as the charm of the village itself, there is also a medieval chateau on the edge of town. It was not surprising that Rochefort-en-Terre was voted by the French themselves in 2016 as their favourite village of the year.
