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.
Numerous ancient fortified cities, whereof: Vitré, Fougères, St. Malo, Dinan, Morlaix, Carhaix, Quimper, Concarneau, Pontivy and Vannes are of especial interest, and old-time châteaux, churches and cathedrals lie scattered over the land.
The three principal “Calvaries,” of which there are many, are in the “Département” of Finistère, at Trégonnec, Guimiliau and Plougastel.
Numerous “menhirs” and “dolmens,” of which the most celebrated are at Carnac and Lochmariaquer, offer particular interest to the archaeologist and historian.
