Brittany - Between
Land and Sea "Argoat hag Armor"
Brittany is the sea . The first tourist sea resort in France for sea holidays,
Brittany is a mostly maritime country.
Brittany is divided in 4 « departments » (counties) : Côtes d'Armor
(22), l'Ile et Vilaine (35), le Morbihan (56), le Finistère (29)
The Finistere :
You will be charmed by the cliffs, the headlands, and the beautiful
and coloured harbours bustling with life and wrapped in the morning
sea breeze of the Finistère, its countless light houses watching
over the Channel or the Atlantic ocean,. The hinterland has got
its treasures too : astonishing parishes, enclosure sof the Léon,
lace and embroidery from the Bigouden area, "top" of
the Monts d'Arrée and the black Mountains.
But first and foremost Finistere is:
- Nature : An heritage to preserve, from strolls on the " sentier
des douaniers" to hiking.
- A maritime heritage:
o From olds ships (vieux grêments) to the "Abeille
Bourbon" (life saver boat)
o Lighthouses, harbours
o Leisure Océanopolis in Brest, Aqua-show in Audierne
- Culture : the exception of Brittany character
- Tales and Legends
- The religious heritage engraved in stone
- The Gastronomy : between Land and Sea
