Sometimes savoury, sometimes sweet - northern Brittany is a real treat, and not just in nautical terms: At the end of a long day's sailing, when the harbour is quiet, culinary delights await ashore. A cruise along the north coast of Brittany from Saint-Malo to Aber Wrac'h.
From the tide to the blackboard
From Saint-Malo westwards, the north coast of Brittany begins, the land of oysters, crabs, crêperies and countless excellent restaurants. If France prides itself on its seafood cuisine, Brittany sees itself as its centre. This also has something to do with the region's special self-image, its independence. The Celtic cultural area, which stretches in a wide arc along the Atlantic, from Scotland via Ireland, Cornwall and Brittany to Galicia, is in many ways closer to Brittany than Paris, even today. The special heritage is evident in small and large ways.
The story to read
The cruise starts in Saint-Malo, leads westwards over several stages via Paimpol and Morlaix and ends at the western tip of Brittany at Aber Wrac'h. The individual articles in this section can be found here:
