Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef
Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ miʃɛl ʃɛf ʃɛf] ⓘ; Breton: Sant-Mikael-Keveger) is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France. Its inhabitants, known as Michelois, numbered 5,714 as of 2023.
The commune of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef includes the seaside resort of Tharon-Plage and is also known as the home of the Biscuiterie Saint-Michel, which produces the "galette Saint-Michel" among many other products. Though the original factory lies in the territory of the town, the headquarters have been delocalized in Contres, France
The commune is part of historical Brittany, in the traditional country of the pays de Retz.
Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef is located on the Côte de Jade, 17 km south of Saint-Nazaire and 50 km west of Nantes, at the western end of the pays de Retz. It lies 8 km north of Pornic, the main city of the community of communes (Pornic Agglo Pays de Retz) to which the town belongs.
Three coastal rivers flows within the communal territory: the Calais, the Berno and the Tharon. The last one gave its name to the seaside resort of Tharon-Plage.
The locality's name is attested as Chemicherium in the 12th century, and Sancti Michaelis de Chevecier in 1287.
The name Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, whose etymology is debated, is a deformation of the old form Saint-Michel-de-Chevesché, from the Late Latin Terra de Chevesché, the former name of nearby Pointe Saint-Gildas.
The term Chevesché is a deformation of chevecier-chef, which in ecclesiastical language used to designate the person who watched over the bedside of a church and, by extension, had custody of the treasury. This religious dignitary, who collected the revenues of an abbey (in this case, that of Pornic), lived in a chiefdom (in french, chefferie, hence the chef in the name).
