Monuments


There are a few monuments, like the Saint-Martin church, and, more surprisingly, a replica of the Statue of Liberty, visible from the main road.

There is also the Triskell, a cultural center with a library, a theater and a lot of space to organize events at the heart of the village.

To organize bigger events, one can find the multipurpose hall named the Spi, surrounded by 2 football fields, tennis courts and another hall.


Education


There are 2 primary schools: Georges-Brassens, a public school, and Ker Anna, a private school.

In 2013, 54 primary school students learned Breton (roughly 10% of primary school students).


Administration


The former mayor, Corentin Hilly, invented a new type of traffic lane named “Voie 2M”, which consists in two separate lanes; the first one is a normal road for engine vehicles, and the second one is for all ways of moving without an engine, like riding a bicycle or walking.

The current mayor is Gilbert Lorho who was elected in 2014.
