Locminé (in French pronounced as /lɔkmine/; Gallo: Lominoec, Breton: Logunec'h) is a commune in the Morbihan department and Brittany region of north-western France.[2]
The name Locminé comes from the Breton Loc'h menec'h, itself from the Latin Locus monachorum – (sacred) place of the monks – after the monastery established here in 1008. Use of the term loc'h to denote the many small monasteries founded in Brittany between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries was commonplace, and this is the origin of the majority of parish names beginning in Loc-.
Locminé is home to the following educational establishments:
As of September 2019, 153 children (i.e. 22.5% of all those enrolled) were being educated in the bilingual (Breton / French) streams of Locminé's primary schools.[3]
The lycées professionnels are vocational high schools. Students from Locminé wishing to pursue "general" or "technical" courses (leading, potentially, to university-level education) must enrol at lycées further away, in, for example, Pontivy (22 km) or Vannes (26 km).
