TOWN PRESENTATION

History Pléven:

Pléven comes from the Breton "ploe" (parish) and St. Even Goarec who was born in the early sixth century, and the wise Guindaff Affelle. It was the little son of Prince and Emyr parent of St. Germain of Auxerre.

Pléven is a former parish primitive. Olivier de Pleuhen is cited in a 1214 agreement between the Duke of Brittany, Pierre de Dreux Mauclerc and Olivier Tournemine in which the Duke acknowledges it possession of the parishes of Pléhérel of Landébia and forest Lanmeur. In 1220, another charter, it is about the road to Maupertuis, from the village of the town of Trégomar Plueen. In his will of 1264, Jeffrey (or Geffroy) Tournemine made bequests to Roland of Pleven and the parish of Pleven.
