Castle on the spur
The fortress sits low in the valley on a rocky outcrop. Its irregular circuit of walls forms a strong, closed shape that draws the eye in any style.

Tabula
Fougères stands on the eastern edge of Brittany, close to Normandy and Maine, a position that made it a border stronghold for centuries. Its layout is unusual. The upper town sits on a plateau, while the great castle stands below on a rocky spur in the valley, almost encircled by a bend of the Nançon. Old streets and the medieval quarter link the two.
The castle is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, with a long ring of walls and many towers. The town also keeps a belfry and parts of its ramparts, and it was an important centre of shoemaking in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Victor Hugo and Balzac both wrote about Fougères, and Balzac set part of Les Chouans here.
A Fougères map poster makes that dramatic setting visible. The looping river, the castle walls on their spur, the medieval streets dropping from the plateau and the public gardens at the edge of the upper town all fit in one frame. In black and white, the curve of the valley against the denser upper town gives the image real depth.
The fortress sits low in the valley on a rocky outcrop. Its irregular circuit of walls forms a strong, closed shape that draws the eye in any style.
The small river curves around the castle site. Its bends, together with the valley slopes, define the lower edge of the historic town.
Above the valley, the upper town spreads across a flat plateau. Its streets and squares are denser and more regular than the winding lanes below.
