The Elorn ( Breton Elorn ) is a coastal river in the French department of Finistère, in the Brittany region.

Course of the river

The river rises in the Monts - d'Arrée Mountains, about 2 kilometers south of Commana, and ends after 56 kilometers in the Bay of Brest in the Atlantic. The river flows in its upper reaches the reservoir Lac de Drennec, which is for the water supply of Brest important. The strongly influenced by tidal estuary begins in Landerneau where the bridge of Rohan another boat trip upstream prevented.

History

This watercourse is the birthplace of the legend of the dragon from the Elorn.
