Le Hézo

Le Hézo is a small commune in Morbihan that borders the Gulf of Morbihan, covering roughly 15 square kilometers with about 900 residents. The village spreads across mixed landscapes including coastal sections and open fields inland.

Le Hézo became established as its own commune within the Vannes-Est canton, joining the administrative structure of Morbihan. The village developed over time as a settled community along the coastal area of the gulf.

The people of Le Hézo, called Hézotins, keep close ties to Breton traditions through local celebrations and community life. These customs shape how the village comes together and give it a distinctive character.

The village is easiest to reach by car and has good connections to nearby Vannes for additional services and facilities. Being on the gulf makes it convenient for exploring the waterfront area and surrounding coastal regions.

A historic tide mill still stands by the water, showing how residents once used the natural tidal forces of the gulf to grind grain. This old structure tells the story of how deeply connected the village once was to working with the sea.
