Prix Combourg-Chateaubriand

The Prix Combourg-Chateaubriand is a French literary award created in 1998 by Hervé Louboutin and Sonia de La Tour du Pin. It is awarded by the Académie Chateaubriand, under the presidency of Philippe de Saint Robert since 1999, in memory of the writer François-René de Chateaubriand. The award ceremony takes place at the Château de Combourg in Ille-et-Vilaine, where Chateaubriand lived during a part of his youth.
