Lesneven, Municipal center in Finistère, France
Located 24 kilometers northeast of Brest, Lesneven stands on the Leon plateau with an elevation ranging from 14 to 79 meters above sea level.
The name originates from Common Brittonic meaning 'court of Even', referring to a military leader who controlled this region during the fifth century.
The Museum of Léon presents local traditions while numerous buildings from the 15th to 18th centuries line the streets of the town center.
The municipal services operate from 8 Place du Château under Mayor Claudie Balcon, with the town hall providing administrative assistance to 7,377 residents.
In 2007, Lesneven initiated a linguistic program that resulted in 19 percent of primary school students attending bilingual French-Breton education by 2008.
