Arzon, Administrative division in Brittany, France
Arzon is a coastal commune in Brittany that stretches along the Golfe du Morbihan, a sheltered bay in northwestern France. The settlement includes several harbor villages and hamlets distributed across an irregular shoreline with natural coves.
The commune emerged in 1790 following France's administrative reorganization that replaced provincial systems with modern departments. This restructuring formalized existing coastal settlements under a new governance framework.
The local Breton name Arzhon-Rewiz reflects the region's Celtic roots and linguistic traditions that remain part of community identity. Fishing villages and harbors throughout the area continue the centuries-old relationship between residents and the sea.
The area is accessible through its harbor facilities at Port-Navalo and Port du Crouesty, which serve as natural reference points for visitors exploring the region. Those interested in walking can follow coastal paths and rural trails that connect the settlements.
Multiple markets operate across different locations including the village center market and harbor markets, supplying both residents and visitors with local goods. This dispersed market system reflects how commerce and community life are distributed throughout the territory.
