Le Faouët ([lə fawɛt]; Breton: Ar Faoued) is a commune in the Morbihan department of the region of Brittany in north-western France.
The 16th-century timber market hall is a noted feature of the town, and two medieval chapels lie within the boundaries of the commune.
Faoued (French: Faouët) is a Breton word meaning "beech forest".
[6] The 16th-century halles, or covered market, remain in use and are a rare surviving example of a large timber structure from the period.
The polychrome timber interior was highly regarded, and earned its creator, Olivier Le Loergan, a title of nobility.
