City of Finistère, in Brittany, Plouvien takes place about twenty kilometers from Brest, south of the beaches of the Iroise Sea. It is located not far from Aber-Benoît and Aber-Wrac'h, near Tréglonou, Lannilis and Gouesnou.
Populated since the Bronze Age, as evidenced by the graves found on site, the territory of Plouvien began to develop in the 6th century with the creation of its parish. Occupied by a commandery of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages, the Breton town has always known an important agricultural activity which has made its wealth. Today specializing in pig breeding and dairy production, it continues this tradition while maintaining good economic growth.
