This article appears in Volume V06, Page 531 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLISSON , a town of western
France
 , in the department of Loire-Inferieure, prettily situated at the confluence of the Sevre Nantaise and the Moine 17 M. S.E. of Nantes by
rail
 . Pop. (1906) 2244. The town gave its name to the celebrated family of Clisson, of which the most famous member was Olivier de Clisson. It has the imposing ruins of their stronghold, parts of which date from the 13th
century
 . The town and
castle
  were destroyed in 1792 and 1793 during the Vendean wars. The sculptor F. F. Lemont afterwards bought the
castle
 , and the town was rebuilt in the early
part
  of the 19th
century
  according to his plans. There are picturesque parks on the
banks
  of the rivers. The Moine is crossed by an old
Gothic
 
bridge
  and by a fine
modern
  viaduct.
