Spanning the river Blavet and fortified in the 13th century, Hennebont is a town with a history of strong characters, such as its founders, the hermits Gunthiern and Caradec, Geoffroy, its first feudal lord, who reputedly insulted the Duke of Brittany at a gathering of loyal supporters, and Jehanne la Flamme, who successfully withstood the siege of Charles de Blois’ army during the Brittany War of Succession. Also numbered among these are the Les Forges foundry men, pioneers of the workers’ movement in Brittany.
