Combrit

Combrit is an administrative division in Brittany that stretches across both inland farmland and seaside villages along the Atlantic coast. The commune includes wetlands, fields, and small settlements scattered throughout its territory.

Combrit took shape as a modern administrative unit during the French Revolution around 1790, when France reorganized its governance structure. The reform replaced the older provincial system with a new departmental framework.

The municipal council actively promotes the preservation of the Breton language through a specific linguistic plan implemented in 2008.

The commune belongs to the Quimper administrative district and provides basic public services through a local government system. Visitors will find small local shops and services that serve the everyday needs of the resident population.

Two notable painters, Lucien Simon and Alfred Marzin, chose the local landscapes as subjects for their paintings. Their artwork documents the visual character of this Breton region from an artistic perspective.
