Sainte-Brigitte

Sainte-Brigitte (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t bʁiʒit]; Breton: Berc'hed) is a commune in the Morbihan department of Brittany in north-western France.

Inhabitants of Sainte-Brigitte are called in French Brigittois. The population declined quickly after the first world war. The population is steady since 1982.

The village centre is located 15 km (9.3 mi) northeast of Pontivy and 62 km (39 mi) north of Vannes. The village is situated at the heart of a hilly and forest-covered region called the Forest of Quenecan.

The main activity in the village was the forges in the last centuries. The activity declined quickly at the end of the nineteenth century and the forges closed in 1880.
