  Bourg-en-Bresse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Bourg-en-Bresse is a city and commune in eastern France, préfecture (capital) of the Ain département, and was capital of the former province of Bresse.
Raised to the rank of a free town in 1250, it was at the beginning of the 15th century chosen by the dukes of Savoy as the chief city of the province of Bresse.
In 1535 it passed to France, but was restored to Duke Philibert Emmanuel, who later built a strong citadel, which afterwards withstood a six months siege by the soldiers of Henry IV.
