Rohan (French pronunciation: [ʁɔɑ̃]; Breton: Roc'han) is a commune in the Morbihan department in Brittany in north-western France.[2] Inhabitants of Rohan are called Rohannais.
It is the home to the House of Rohan, members of which included viscounts, dukes and princes and has had a prominent role in French history. The commune's coat of arms is identical to that of the family.
Geography
