Morbihan is an administrative département on the southern coast of Brittany, France’s northwestern-most region. Many, even those who have traveled to France before, have never heard of Morbihan. It’s the only French department whose name, meaning “little sea”, comes from the Breton language. Although few residents still speak Breton, the traditional language has left its mark on geographic terms, town and city names, and first and last names of the Breton people.
The Morbihan is made up of 261 cities and towns, and there are many more villages and hamlets in between. Your experience will be different depending on whether you choose to live in one of the larger cities of the region or in a small town. As well, the Gulf of Morbihan is home to 42 islands.
Morbihan has a rich history, spanning thousands of years, that has left visible vestiges of the region’s inhabitants from the Stone Age to the Celts to the Romans to various groups coming from the British Isles and most recently from throughout France. Along with these multiple political influences has come a variety of architectural, linguistic and cultural inspirations.
The architecture of Morbihan’s cities offers numerous half-timbered medieval buildings, while the countryside brings numerous thatched-roof stone houses, reminders of British and Irish architecture. It’s also very well known for its Neolithic sites.
As for the music produced in Brittany, the Celtic roots are the most audible. In recent decades, traditional Celtic music and modern variations of this traditional style have seen a resurgence in popularity. Especially in summertime, on any given evening you rarely have to drive more than thirty minutes to find a Celtic music concert.
You’ll live like a king in Morbihan. A 4-bedroom, 3-level home with an enclosed yard in the center of Baden is only 600 euros per month. Baden is one of the more expensive towns you could choose in Morbihan.
Morbihan is a largely rural region of France that offers an excellent quality of life compared the cost of living. If you thrive on big city excitement and cosmopolitan offerings, this may not be the ideal spot for you. It’s tough to get around all but the larger cities without a car. Although the community is generally very accepting of foreigners, it will be difficult to feel as though you fully belong with such a small (in some towns non-existent) expat presence, at least if you are not proficient in French. But Morbihan is a fantastic base for anyone enamored with the outdoors: water sports, walking, cycling. You will have the benefits of living in France (safety, exceptional health care and infrastructure, a range of cultural options) without the costs of the capital city or other more touristic areas. Morbihan is a seafood lover’s paradise. It offers a unique blend of the French and Breton-brand Celtic cultures. The climate is mild. Morbihan may be an ideal retirement destination for French speakers who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle.
