Moëlan-sur-Mer, Coastal commune in Finistère department, France.
Moëlan-sur-Mer covers approximately 147.3 square kilometers featuring sandy beaches such as Kerfany-les-Pins, fishing ports, rocky coastlines and lush green landscapes along the Atlantic Ocean at an elevation reaching 67 meters.
This former fishing community developed over centuries preserves its maritime heritage through traditional ports, historic chapels like Saint-Philibert, and local customs passed down through generations of Breton families.
The town celebrates its Breton identity with the annual Fest'in d'mouettes music festival, the traditional Kervardel feast featuring roasted pig since 1977, and classical concerts in historic chapels blending regional influences.
Visitors can reach the commune via regional roads from Quimper, stay at the year-round Île Percée campsite with sea views, and enjoy summer markets showcasing local artisans and regional produce.
Moëlan-sur-Mer maintains a sister city relationship with Louiseburgh in Ireland, organizing annual cultural exchanges that celebrate the historical connections between Brittany and Ireland through family visits and institutional partnerships.
