About Saint Philibert
Saint-Philibert is a small Morbihan commune of about 1,600 residents on the Atlantic coast, inside the Gulf of Morbihan regional nature park. It was part of Locmariaquer until a vote in 1892 made it separate, and coastal law restricts building within 100 metres of the shore. The chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité dates from 1648, and the Men er Bellec point looks over the Anse de Tréhennarvour. The climate is oceanic. Our homes sit close together, mostly with a garden, three bedrooms is typical, and a good number sleep eight or more. Few have a pool.
