Reise-Taschenbuch Bretagne

About the Book

Since the times of the Breton conditions created by Commissioner Dupin, most people know where Brittany is located: in the northwest of France. But fundamentally, that is only half the truth. Brittany lies at the end of the world, overlooking blue or green seas, buffeted by storm winds, and living under a sky that can change from gray to blue in seconds. The suddenly radiant sun transforms ancient rocks into works of art, among which the Bretons invented paradise with buckwheat flour and cider, swearing after a few glasses of cider that Avalon lies right at their doorstep. In his travel guide, Manfred Görgens not only takes you to the well-known and frequently visited highlights of the region, such as Mont Saint-Michel (actually in Normandy), the former pirate nest of St-Malo, or the famous granite coast with its bizarre rock formations, but also to lesser-known areas like the wild romantic Côte des Abers, the islands in the far west, the vibrant capital Rennes, and hiking trails through orchards, moors, and heathlands.
