Esquibien (French pronunciation: [ɛskibjɛ̃]; Breton: An Eskevien) is a former French commune in the Finistère department, in the Brittany region. On January 1, 2016, it became a delegated commune within the new commune of Audierne. Esquibien and Audierne thus regained the unity they had lost after the French Revolution in 1793 (Audierne had been a trève—a subordinate parish—of the parish of Esquibien). [2]
Esquibien was part of the Cap-Sizun Community of Communes.
