Saint-Évarzec

Saint-Évarzec covers approximately 124.65 square kilometers in the Finistère department, featuring traditional Breton architecture with granite buildings, slate roofs, and rural landscapes characteristic of northwestern France's countryside.

The commune has medieval origins and houses the historic Manoir du Moustoir, a stone manor built with local materials that demonstrates the area's agricultural importance and architectural heritage throughout the centuries.

Local culture embraces Breton traditions through Celtic music festivals, Breton language education programs in schools, and the preservation of traditional crafts including pottery and weaving by local artisans.

The commune is accessible via departmental road D63, features a town hall providing comprehensive administrative services, and belongs to the Quimper arrondissement with postal code 29170 and INSEE code 29247.

Saint-Évarzec derives its name from an ancient Breton hermit named Évarzec, and local legend tells of an old oak tree in the village center that served as a protective symbol during traditional processions.
