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.

All I want is a cool climate, a place to walk my dog, have some good seafood, travel to Paris or London once in a while for theater. Otherwise just chill for the last few decades of my life.
Have you ever visited this beautiful place? Thanks
I don't know you, but you just stole the words right out of my head. Except the seafood, I'm vegan.
I lived in Tous when I was 27 briefly, and the french life style stays with me.

Hollo I'm Brittain , I would like to stay that all Brittany look like Morbihan . The Brittany smell different that part of France.
More professional than some of your earliest offerings. Well done.

Michele Turner not really. It’s just a great place to live.
Have to walk up and down those medieval stairs does not appeal to me. Maybe once but in retirement? Noooooooo
Rainy country
il pleut que sur les C...
Wrong! There are as much hours of sun in a year than in Toulouse. May be some jealous others can't pretend this mmm?
@@ybreton6593 Oui il aurait pu s'appeler vomi aussi ;)
No, it's not.
Proper pronunciation is Mor bean. Breton word. Little sea.
Is Mor little in Breton & large in Irish ?
I have lived here for over 55 years. Just keep away. Its deadly boring. Contrary to what this man says, I have noticed that foreigners are not really welcome. Tourists are treated with disdain. Take the risk if you like but you will soon be on your way home..Political unrest, poverty an violence in France also makes the whole country a bad choice. Paris is now considered to be the most dangerous city in France.
Brittany rules.
Why say ex pat you'll be a immigrant like everybody else
Retired expats are financially supported from their home countries.
Very different from being a penniless emigrant.
That bad, huh 🤔?
it's morbing time
Morbiyawn???? Ouch.....
Do you mean to imply that Morbihan is boring?
Chris. No, never boring. Just cringingly badly pronounced in this case, One day we will be allowed back there again, a beautiful place to be at any time.
