Common Brittany of nearly 3,000 inhabitants, Saint-Yvi takes place in the department of Finistère, about fifteen kilometers from Quimper. Crossed by the Jet, a local river, it is not far from Concarneau, another great tourist town of the region.
Populated since Antiquity, the commune of Saint-Yvi originally developed around a monastery, before becoming an important village of the fief of the Viscounts of Rohan, Pontivy. With a railway line at the beginning of the 20th century, it experienced a major boom before taking the face that is known to it today.
Charming small town of Brittany, it seduces by its preserved landscapes, as well as by its architectural heritage which is not without interest. As you walk through Saint-Yvi, you will discover some monuments testifying to the history of this city full of life.
