Le Hingair

Le Hingair comes from the Breton word hen - old or ancient - and Ker softened to gêr - meaning village. It still has two sets of houses with courtyard, well and bread oven. These old farmhouses, with their round-arched and rectangular bays, date back to the 17th century. Behind the hamlet, the Hingair stream flows into the Blavet, where the mill once stood. We're in the immediate vicinity of an oppidum, a veritable Gallic town, which dominated the right bank of the Blavet at a place called Polvern.
