Milizac (French pronunciation: [milizak]; Breton: Milizag) is a former commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in northwestern France.
[2] Milizac lies along the D38 road about halfway between Saint-Renan and Bourg-Blanc, 11.6 kilometres (7.2 mi) northwest of Brest.
It was the name of a Roman centurion who commanded a Gallo-Roman Military establishment (fundus militiacus) in Brittany.
A special resolution was recommended to extend the surtax as its proceeds were an important financial resource for Milizac.
Without the surtax, the village could not fulfill its commitments or pay for the maintenance of the town hall, reconstruction of the boys' school, the restoration of the cemetery wall, and rural road improvements.
The municipal coat of arms is dated to the 17th century, representing the noble families of Kéranflec'h (1448) and Manor Curru (Roue Pharamus Kernezne from 1238 to 1689).
It is mounted on two willow branches and the top of the shield bears the motto in Breton: War Atao Zao (Still standing).
The left side of the coat of arms has three wavy bars in azure surmounted by two cockle shells commemorating an ancestor of the Kéranflec'h family's having made the pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James of Compostella at Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Work commenced on the streets of General de Gaulle, Lamennais, Treg and Leon in August 2011, involving provision of footpaths, parking space, cycleway, road signs and traffic lights.
