Morlaix ( pronunciación francesa: [mɔʁlɛ] ; Bretón : montroulez ) es una comuna en el Finisterre departamento de Bretaña , en el noroeste de Francia . Es una subprefectura del departamento.
Ocio y turismo [ editar ]
El casco antiguo de la ciudad tiene calles sinuosas de adoquines y casas colgantes construidas con piedra y madera. Muchos tienen esculturas religiosas y seculares en sus fachadas.
Una de estas casas es "la Maison dite de la duchesse Anne", o la "llamada casa de la Duquesa Ana", que ahora es un museo, abierta al público. Se dice que esta casa es una de las más antiguas de la ciudad. La leyenda local [2] dice que su nombre deriva del hecho de que la duquesa Ana de Bretaña visitó la casa durante su peregrinación a Tro Breizh . Sin embargo, esto parece poco probable, ya que la construcción de la casa comenzó en la década de 1520 [3] y Ana de Bretaña murió en 1514.
El Museo de los Jacobinos en Morlaix, ubicado en un antiguo convento, traza la historia de Finisterre.
Morlaix es un lugar popular para los entusiastas de los deportes acuáticos con una diversa gama de actividades que se ofrecen, como surf, buggies de arena y vuelo de cometas.

En 2008, el 6,45% de los niños de la escuela primaria asistieron a escuelas bilingües. [7]
La escuela Diwan en Morlaix, fundada alrededor de 1988, originalmente estaba ubicada en apartamentos muy antiguos. En enero de 2008, el alcalde ofreció a la escuela Diwan mudarse a un lugar más adecuado, una escuela vacía. En junio de 2008, el nuevo alcalde decidió que la escuela Diwan debería cambiar de ubicación una vez más. El ayuntamiento quería utilizar su edificio para abrir una nueva escuela pública. Sin embargo, el edificio de reemplazo elegido para la escuela Diwan estaba en muy mal estado. [8]
