Château de Saffré stands in Saffré (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de la Bouvardière, in Saint-Herblain, is tied to a tragic episode of the French Resistance in Loire-Atlantique. In June 1944, after German forces crushed the maquis of Saffré, twenty-seven resistance fighters were given a summary trial in its park and shot during the night. The site is not a heritage château open for ordinary tours but a memorial place, connected to the broader events of the Saffré maquis between 16 and 28 June 1944.

What to know

  • The site serves a memorial purpose linked to the Resistance rather than a typical heritage visit.
  • No verified opening hours or admission fees are available for visiting the château itself.
  • The site's history is tied to that of the Saffré maquis, located about thirty kilometres north of Nantes.
  • The executions took place at the back of the château's park, during the night of 28 to 29 June 1944.
