Oct 4, 2016
Places Mentioned in this Episode: Gulf of Morbihan, Southern Brittany, Port-Navalo, Belle-Île-en-Mer, Presqu'île de Rhuyz, Île Houeic, Île-d'Houat, Locmariaquer, Côte Sauvage, Quiberon, Île-aux-Moines, Château de Sucinio (in a town called Sarzeau), Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuyz, Carnac, and Auray.
The Gulf of Morbihan in Southern Brittany is some of the most beautiful coastline anywhere in France. Elyse knows the place well because her husband's family owns a home right on the Gulf of Morbihan and they have been there many times. Today we talk about what she loves about the area:
- The ocean, ports and boats
- Wild beaches and tides
- Crêpes, galettes, and other Breton foods with strange names
- Muscadet wine and hard cider
- Dolmens, menhir and other pre-historic attractions
At the end of the episode Annie and Elyse reminisce about crazy things they as older teenagers, and--you're not going to believe this if you've been following the show for a long time--Elyse doesn't have a museum to recommend in the area. Shocking!
