Rochefort-en-Terre, a medieval village in Morbihan, Brittany, was voted "Village préféré des Français" in 2016 — the kind of national recognition that makes it an obvious candidate for the souvenir euro program. Collectoys has issued these notes under license since around 2015, with Oberthur Fiduciaire handling production; the same security printer responsible for genuine euro banknotes for the Banque de France, which lends the format a technical credibility entirely disproportionate to its face value of zero.
Legal tender nowhere, these circulate only as paid souvenirs, typically sold at tourist offices and local vendors for a few euros apiece.
