THE TOURING CLUB DE FRANCE,
65, AVENUE DE LA GRANDE ARMÉE, PARIS (16).
BEAUTIFUL FRANCE.
_Brittany._
Land of granite cliffs, rough seas and folk-lore, Brittany is one of
the most picturesque provinces of France.
The granitic soil, carpeted with yellow-gorse and shaded with the
deep green of countless oaks, has bred a hardy race of sailors and
fishermen, who combine strange pagan superstitions with the Roman
faith. In historic and pre-historic memories, it is one of the richest
lands in the world.
The hinterland of Brittany consists of uplands broken by ravines, of
low undulating hills, moors, rich pastures, living waters and crags.
The coastline, broken with innumerable capes, creeks, gulfs and
estuaries, is of unparalleled picturesqueness.
Among the principal places of interest to tourists are the following:
Cancale Bay and Grouin Point, the roadstead of St. Malo and estuary of
the Rance, Cape Fréhel, St. Brieuc Bay, Bréhat Island, Ploumanach and
Trégastel Cliffs, Primel Point, the estuary of the de Morlaix river,
Roscoff and Batz Island, the Brignognan and Aber-Wrach Crags,
St. Matthew’s Point and Brest Harbour.
Further south are the Morgat Caves, Bay of Douarnenez, Raz Point,
Penmarch Cliffs, Gulf of Vannes, etc.
