The highest point of the parish the  calotte Saint Joseph, a round hill whose top is at 292 meters. It offers a nice view over the surrounding area (most of the parish is at 190 meter level).

Demographics. Inhabitants of Langonnet are called in French "Langonnetais", in Breton "Langonediz". Breton language. The municipality launched a linguistic plan through Ya d'ar brezhoneg on 27 January 2005.
