Camoël

Camoël is a rural commune located in the Morbihan department of Brittany, France, covering approximately 114.33 square kilometers with an elevation of 24 meters above sea level.

Historical records indicate that Camoël was established as a small fishing and farming community during medieval times, leveraging its strategic coastal location near the mouth of the Vilaine River.

The commune maintains traditional Breton cultural practices through annual festivals celebrating local music, dance, and culinary heritage, with many hamlets retaining their original Breton names reflecting linguistic traditions.

Visitors can access Camoël via road connections from nearby towns like Vannes and La Roche-Bernard, with the town hall located at Place de la Mairie providing administrative services and local information.

The commune has experienced unusual occurrences of Lithosie quadrille caterpillars, a species that presents minimal danger to humans unlike the more problematic processionary caterpillars found elsewhere in France.
