A compelling 18 minute video, in English, working through Brittany from St Malo down to Saint Nazaire (which was still part of Brittany until the early 1960′s), stopping at Concarneau, Carnac, St. Anne d’Auray Vannes and a few other places in between.
Covering tourism, religeous gatherings, the Breton fishing industry (with fishermen at Concarneau or Douarnenez, which was the largest sardine fishery in France at the time, landing large quantities of what look like tuna) and sailing history, this is an excellent glimpse into Breton life between the Great Wars.
Martin Jarvis is a professional web developer with a passion for all things "France" - including his lovely wife Nadine! With a french wife, a house on the border of Brittany and the Pays de la Loire, an aunt in Paris, his wifes family in Bordeaux, and a dear friend on the Cote d'Azur, Martin is well placed to comment on France from the point of view of an Englishman.
Hopefully, this interest in France and his experience as a developer and marketer of websites will help make this site invaluable to francophiles everywhere.
