    The birthplace of François-René de Chateaubriand is located in Saint-Malo on what is now Rue Chateaubriand. Chateaubriand, one of the most important French writers of the 19th century, was born there on September 4, 1768. The building, now part of the Hôtel de la Gicquelais, bears the family coat of arms and Chateaubriand's motto above the entrance.

    "Mon sang atteint les bannières de France" ("My blood reaches the banners of France")
    This motto expresses his pride in his heritage and his connection to France.
