Village of Finistère being part of the Pays Glazik, Kerlaz takes place on the bay of Douarnenez, between beaches, countryside and forest. It is located not far from Locronan, Tréboul and Guengat, at the crossroads of Crozon and the Quimper region.
Occupied since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the Bronze Age tomb found near the Coz-Castel manor, the territory of Kerlaz developed from Gallo-Roman times, before becoming an independent parish in the second half of the 19th century.
Both a rural and coastal town, Kerlaz reveals to its visitors an important heritage testifying to a past rich in traditions and events.
