Château de Clermont stands in Le Cellier (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Le Cellier, in the Loire-Atlantique region, the château de Clermont was built in the mid-17th century by René Chenu, a nobleman serving the princes of Condé, on the site of a former monastery destroyed by the Normans. The house owes much of its fame to Louis de Funès, who spent holidays there from the 1940s onward and later made it his final home until his death in 1983. Visitors can see an imposing architectural ensemble, shaped by two centuries under one family before changing hands several times through the 20th century.
