Presentation

This book aims to trace this long history by exploring the significant events, iconic figures, and traditions that have shaped the soul of Morbihan. This work invites you on a journey through the ages, discovering a territory with exceptional heritage. From the first hunter-gatherers of the islands of Téviec and Hoëdic to the builders of megaliths, from the Veneti defying the Roman legions to the early days of Breton settlement, from the founding of the land of Waroch and the diocese of Vannes to Nominoë, count of the Carolingian marches, and the dukes of Brittany forging their independence, from peasant revolts to maritime epics, Morbihan has always been a melting pot of influences and passions.
