About Locronan Historic Village
Locronan grew up around a hermitage traditionally associated with a sixth century Irish monk, Saint Ronan, though the founding legend is not historically documented. The village developed through the medieval and early modern periods into a center of sailcloth and hemp weaving that supplied ropes and canvas to Breton shipping. Its prosperity shaped its stone architecture.
