Blain is a historic town in the Loire-Atlantique department of western France, located about 35 kilometers north of Nantes.
It is best known for its rich Breton heritage and its impressive medieval fortress, the Château de Blain, also known as the Château de la Groulais. The château was originally built in the early 12th century as part of the defensive system of the Duchy of Brittany. Over the centuries it was expanded, rebuilt, and transformed by powerful noble families such as the Clissons and the Rohans, becoming one of Brittany’s most important strongholds.
