Lancieux derives its name from the Breton lann ("hermitage") and Seoc, Cieux, or Sieu, a monk who came from British Cornwall at the end of the 6th century AD; therefore it can be translated as "the hermitage of Seoc".

Personalities

The British-Canadian poet and writer Robert W. Service, known as the "Bard of the Yukon", used to spend summers in Lancieux from 1913 until his death in 1958. He had a deep affection for the town and its scenic seaside. On many occasions, he made monetary gifts to the town, including for the school and the war memorial.[2] Service is buried in the town cemetery.[3]

The town of Lancieux has paid homage to the memory of Robert W. Service. One of its streets has been called Robert Service Street. A few years later, on May 18, 2002 the school of Lancieux took the name of "École Robert W. Service".[4][5] Since 2000, Lancieux and Whitehorse, Yukon are sister cities.[6]
