Pleucadeuc (French pronunciation: [pløkadœk]; Breton: Plegadeg) is a commune in the Morbihan department of Brittany in north-western France.[3]
The name comes from the Breton word Plou and the name Cadoc, a Breton saint, meaning Parish of Cadoc. Numerous megaliths are to be found around the commune.
