OFFICIAL FRENCH MAPS. The green 🔍 Search Maps button opens a second map with three base layers: OSM (OpenStreetMap), Plan IGN — France's official national map from the Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière — and Photos, the IGN's aerial photography. Two overlays go over any of them: Contours, the IGN's contour lines, and Relief, hillshading from the RGE ALTI one-metre terrain model. The search box finds any place in France or beyond by name.
Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid — one-kilometre squares at normal zoom. Click Measure and tap two points for the distance plus the grid, true and magnetic bearing.
📍 My position takes a single GPS reading and shows it as an MGRS reference, as plain UTM, as Lambert-93 (the French national grid, EPSG:2154) and as latitude and longitude, with a Copy position button. Map tiles need mobile coverage; a GPS reading does not.

Melrand sits nestled within the quiet heart of the Morbihan, a landscape defined by the sturdy presence of granite and slate. Here, the land is woven with hedged bocage and sunken lanes that offer a gentle intimacy, while the nearby Sarre river traces its course through the verdant terrain. To the horizon, the heights of Mané er Lann rise softly above the Grande Lande de Lanvaux, where the atmosphere is often softened by the long, golden light of summer evenings or the sudden, rhythmic arrival of Atlantic rains.
Exploring the immediate surroundings reveals a deep connection to the past, most notably at the Village de l'An Mil, where the echoes of ancient agrarian life remain palpable. Visitors often seek out the Tumulus de Saint-Fiacre, an archaeological site that stands as a silent sentinel in the countryside, or pause to admire the Moulin de Boterff, a traditional mill that speaks to the endurance of local craftsmanship. Not far away, the Bornes milliaires de Locmeltro serve as enduring markers of a landscape shaped by centuries of transit and human story.
Melrand se niche au cœur du Morbihan, un territoire où le granit et l'ardoise dictent la silhouette des bâtisses. Le paysage se déploie en un bocage dense, traversé de chemins creux et bercé par la proximité de la Sarre qui serpente dans la vallée. Vers l'horizon, le sommet du Mané er Lann domine la Grande Lande de Lanvaux, offrant un cadre où la lumière d'été s'étire longuement, parfois interrompue par les averses arrivant au gré des courants atlantiques.
La découverte des environs invite à une immersion dans le temps, notamment au Village de l'An Mil, témoignage vivant des racines rurales de la région. Le Tumulus de Saint-Fiacre impose sa présence archéologique parmi les champs, tandis que le Moulin de Boterff rappelle, par sa structure, le génie discret des anciens artisans locaux. Non loin de là, les Bornes milliaires de Locmeltro jalonnent le paysage, rappelant aux voyageurs que cette terre bretonne porte en elle les traces indélébiles de son histoire ancienne.
