Erdeven (French pronunciation: [ɛʁdəvɛn]; Breton: An Ardeven) is a commune in the Morbihan department in the region of Brittany in north-western France.[2]
Its main industry is tourism. Attractions include a seven kilometre-long beach beside the Atlantic and many prehistoric sites featuring megaliths. The Mané-Croch, Mané-Bras and Crucuno dolmens and the Kerzérho alignments lie just outside the commune.
