Presentation of Kerlouan

Kerlouan is a village located in the north of the department of Finistère. The center of the village is not located on the shore but the municipality has 14 kms of beaches, stretching over the Côte des Légendes, a rocky coast bristled with several islets and reefs.
Kerlouan means in Breton "St. Louan's village". St. Louan, a.k.a. Elouan, Eloean, Luan and Luhan, was an ermit who lived in the VIIIth century. Kerlouan, then known as Kerlouen, became a parish in 1330, and belonged at that time to the Bishopric of Léon (Bro Leon). The modern name of Kerlouan appeared in 1467. The inhabitants of the northern coast of Léon were in the past fishers and wrack gatherers. The village of Menehem, administratively part of Kerlouan, was built around a customs post in the XVIIIth century, and abandoned in 1980. It is now a protected area.

Flag of Kerlouan

The flag of Kerlouan, as communicated by the municipal administration, is white with a vertical blue stripe placed along the hoist, the municipal coat of arms in the middle, and the name of the municipality, in blue capital letters, placed vertically along the fly.
The lion in the first quarter of the municipal coat of arms most probably refers to the canting lion of Léon. The charge in the third quarter is a chicory.
