Geography


Langonnet is in north-west part of Cornouaille, in Lower Brittany. It's one of the few Cornouaille parishes that are now in the Morbihan department. Thus the main language was the Breton language until the advent of intensive farming after the second world war at which point the people, who were bilingual, switched to the French language.

The parish holds two main human settlements:

In the south-east there's the Notre-Dame de Langonnet abbey.

Toponymy


Its Breton name is written Langoned in modern breton but it has been written differently along the years (because of different tentatives to transcribe the Breton phonetic system with the Latin alphabet):

The Langoned name is said to come from Lann-Conet, the monastery (See lan in Breton, llan in welsh language) of Conet[4] (or Conoit, Konoed, Kon(n)ed, Konoid = Cynwyd, Kynwyd or Kynyd in welsh), a Welsh saint that came in Brittany.
