	Château de Brissac, Languedoc
		Brissac is no more than a modest village settlement, but it is nevertheless notable for its 12th century church (listed as a monument historique), the nave of which has retained its Romanesque arrangement almost completely, and for the castle perched on the rocky outcrop, which dominates and protects the village.
		To recount the history of the castle, dominating Brissac with its feudal silhouette, it is necessary to go back to the period of the break of the Carolignian Empire.
		Towards the end of the 13th century the lordship of Brissac appears to have been divided between separate heirs, and in 1289 parts of its domain, including the castle, was sold to the bishopric of Maguelone.
