Plouguerneau

Plouguerneau is a coastal commune in Brittany with three distinct districts: Plouguerneau, Lilia, and Le Grouanec. The territory stretches for several kilometers along the Atlantic between the Aber-Wrac'h river and the English Channel.

This locality developed over time as smaller settlements merged along the Breton coast. It gradually became an important center for the region's economic and social life.

In 2008, the educational system demonstrated a commitment to regional heritage with 12.52 percent of primary school students attending bilingual French and Breton classes.

The area offers direct access to beaches and walking paths along the Atlantic coast. Visitors can find parking in the different districts and explore them easily on foot or by car.

The area is a leading center for seaweed processing in France with a long tradition of harvesting marine resources. This industry continues to shape the local economy and coastal life today.
