Mûr-de-Bretagne (Breton: Mur) is a former commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in northwestern France. On 1 January 2017, it was merged into the new commune Guerlédan.
Mûr-de-Bretagne is a small town with shops, located east of the Lac de Guerlédan.
The old forms are: Mur (1283), Mur (1368), Mur (1516), Mur (1536), Meur (1630).
The name of the commune translated into Breton is Mur.
In 2012, the municipality had 2,106 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known through the population censuses carried out in the town since 1793. From the 21st century, communes with less 10,000 population have real censuses held every five years, unlike other municipalities that have a sample survey each year.
The inhabitants of Mûr-de-Bretagne are known in French as mûrois.
Mûr was the end of the fourth stage of the 2011 Tour de France; Cadel Evans won the stage in 2011 and went on to win the Tour. Mûr hosted the finish of the eighth stage of the 2015 Tour de France. Alexis Vuillermoz took the win.
