Combourg (; ; Gallo: Conbórn) is a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in northwestern France.
==History== The town is part of the Patrimoine Urbain de Bretagne and labelled as one of the Petites Cités de Caractère. Combourg is considered the "cradle of Romanticism" in French literature due to the renowned French writer François-René de Chateaubriand who spent part of his youth in his family's castle, the Château de Combourg. He describes the village and medieval castle in his Memoirs from Beyond the Grave.
