The beauty of Brittany, a region in the north-western corner of France, is remarkable and diverse. From the cliffside beaches that have been carefully shaped by the waves lapping against them, to the rolling hills adorned with vibrant forests and fields, this peninsula is a true sight to behold.
Those who explore the area will find themselves immersed in culture and history. The region is rich with cultural treasures, from its distinct Bigouden traditions to its spectacular Gulf of Morbihan. No matter where you go in Brittany there’s something new to discover. Tourists can take time out on La Baule beach or explore the winding streets of Quimper; they can marvel at Belle Ile’s striking landscapes or enjoy Nantes’ modern culture.
For those looking for a more immersive experience and an introduction to this stunning part of France, Pierre Brouwers’ documentary “Brittany: A Cultural Landscape” is an excellent starting point. Through footage taken over a period of six years, viewers are treated to mesmerizing views as well as intimate conversations with locals in order to gain a better understanding of this unique region. Through his work, Pierre Brouwers gives viewers an insight into what makes Brittany so special and begs us all to come visit its shores for ourselves someday soon!
