De Bréhat à Ouessant : Trésors de la côte bretonne – Documentaire VU DU CIEL – GD

This trip follows the Pink Granite Coast
from the Bréhat archipelago to the port of Roscoff. We then reach Pointe
Saint-Mathieu which opens onto the immensity of the Iroise Sea. Whatever the weather,
sailing northwest of Brittany is tricky because of
the reefs that pierce the ocean. But the boat is the only way
to reach the Bréhat archipelago, which we are heading for. The largest island, the only inhabited one
to give its name to the archipelago. It is made up of two almost
equal parts, connected by a thin strip of land that can
only be crossed on foot or by bicycle. The microclimate that reigns in Bréhat is
suitable for humans, wildlife and all species
of plants, even the most exotic. These landscapes are extraordinarily
diverse, alternating between small ports, heavenly beaches
and jagged red cliffs. In total, the Bréhat archipelago
has 88 islands and islets. It’s a rock. It’s a cape, what am I saying,
it’s a peninsula. Continuing west, we come face to face with
a strange dune appendage. The Talbert Furrow is a
three-kilometer-long geological curiosity that was formed by
the action of two rivers. A short distance away,
the Isle of Ars has regained its smile since the stocks of oily waste,
which had polluted its coasts in the 1970s, were removed. We now reach
the Pink Granite Coast. And it shows. And there’s no point in going through it
all here, it’s impossible to see life in any other way than through rose-tinted glasses. The buildings are also not out of place. They were also built with
this granite stone composed of the minerals that
give it this unique hue. This is the case of the Ploumanac’h lighthouse or
the Costaérès castle in Perros-Guirec. The pink granite coast stretches
for around thirty kilometers. It is not unique in the world. There are two others
in Corsica and China. Before continuing our journey
west, here is a pearl buried in the depths of the Trégor region. The Roche Jagu castle seems to have
survived the ages without any damage or damage. Destroyed to the last stone,
it was completely rebuilt in the 15th century to become a prestigious residence. We continue our journey
along the Coast of Legends. From L’abervrac’h,
it takes us to the tip of the territory where the L’iroise marine park begins,
which extends to the island of Ouessant. Roscoff is a former corsair shelter
from which the onion merchants who still make the reputation
of the seaside town set sail. The boats that set sail
from the pier take passengers to the island of BA, located two short
kilometers northwest of Roscoff. The mild climate makes it
an exceptional land of cultivation. First economic activity on the island
of BA before fishing and tourism. We are now moving above
the Coast of Legends. From the top of its 397 steps,
the lighthouse of the Île Vierge is a bit like the Everest of the European seas.
A stone Robinson Crusoe, more than a hundred years old, watching over a landscape like no other. Because there is no
other Aber country in the world. Abers Celtic words which designate these
river valleys invaded by the ocean. There are three of them, almost side by side,
but the deepest are the Benoît sea and L’Abervrac’h. The latter has its source 34 kilometers
upstream, where several centuries earlier, the legend of the Devil’s Bridge was born. A bridge whose history is unknown
and which gave rise to a popular belief that it
was built by the devil. Poor devil abused here,
on hundreds of other rivers or bridges of unknown origin
have generated the same legend. At high tide,
only small boats can anchor in Benoît Bay. Unlike the bay
where container ships regularly dock. The port of L’abervrac’h is
specially dedicated to pleasure boating. There was
a holiday feeling in the air after 12 o’clock. Under a penetrating sun,
the sea finally reveals its secret. This is precisely what gives
the oysters grown in these parks a unique taste. A subtle mixture of fresh water and
sea water specific to the Abers, which makes them neither truly
estuaries, nor rias or even fjords, but simply Abers. It’s hard to leave
Bergerac without saying hello. Hats off to Stagadon. Father Jaouen Island. The reputation of the benefactor priest has spread across
the oceans, like his famous three-masted ship, the Bel Espoir. Here is the schooner returning from the Caribbean
to take up its summer quarters at Aber Wrach. Behind a return to the country, in short,
the time to regain a foothold in his legendary land. Narayen nz. Line one Amandine. For about €10 to a dirham, the abbots will say. Abounding in algae of several
species, the seaweed, it undergoes all sorts of transformations. Thus, it is used to make
cosmetic products. A restaurateur based in the Abers
collects seaweed with which he makes dishes that his
customers enjoy facing the ocean. Hervé Ginet On. Brought Rangiroa back to rum. Neither one, nor the other, neither one nor the other. At the edge of the territory,
one cannot swear that the landscapes crossed are not
the product of the imagination. Our exploration ends on the coasts
overlooking the Iroise Sea, which extends west to the island of Ouessant. Before you fly to the ocean,
check out this unusual painting. Saint-Mathieu Abbey
surrounded on all sides. It was once the seat
of a lively parish. The skull of the apostle Matthew was
said to have been preserved there before it disappeared into the depths of the sea. Abandoned by all,
the small church now gazes without jealousy over the Iroise Sea. Filled with a life as
difficult to see as it is to count. Almost as quiet as a glider. The Iroise Marine Park reconnaissance aircraft was
carrying out a seal counting mission that day. To count
marine mammals whose fur blends in with the gray of the reefs, scientists
use an infrared camera. Registration.
Affirmative. The seals
are immediately spotted through their lens. Animals that live in the ocean have
invaded the areas right to the edge of the marine park, including
the islands of Molène and Ouessant. Ouessant is located about twenty
kilometers from the coast. The island is marked by five lighthouses. This shows the danger it presents
in this area where the sea is particularly rough. The radar tower, a must-see on the island,
allows ships to be monitored for miles around. The atmosphere in Ouessant is
exceptionally pure. A good reason to go
there for a vacation. Because will you believe it? At low tide, the sea reveals four
small beaches of fine sand lost in the middle of these coasts
with their strong character. This trip partly follows
the coastline of southern Brittany. Before that, we will have skirted
the interior of Brest harbor until reaching the tip of the RAS from where we will
join the Gulf of Morbihan. This schooner is not a rig
like many in Brittany. The Recouvrance is the emblem of the port
of Brest, which it never leaves for long. Brest is two districts,
almost two worlds separated by a river and joined by a bridge
also called La Recouvrance. But Brest is above all one
of the most popular harbors in France. The soul of the second military port after
Toulon, is anchored to the arsenal which brings together the
naval and military installations. A site under high surveillance
where the songs of the school of sailors sometimes filter through.
That. Love happens, it comes and goes. A kiss is a deal. Especially when no one is using it. The cabin boys will swell
the ranks of the French Navy to follow in the footsteps of their elders. Dreams of
faraway lands fill my head. A hundred leagues from the hearts
beating under the uniform. The elorn lives peacefully. Especially since the river ends
in a dead end at Landerneau. Where one of the last
inhabited bridges in France remains. Platform saloon Sky
and dancing with love. Continuing around the harbor,
unlike the river that crosses Landerneau, the alder is deep enough
for retired ships to come and end their old days
at the Landévennec boat cemetery. It’s necessary. To stand. Upstream of the river. A single motto: Place for young people. The new Térénez bridge is the latest addition
to a three-generation family. It was designed in a rounded shape
to soften the junction with the road leading to the Crozon peninsula. It is. An English term. At the prow of the territory. The Pointe du Raz is surely one
of the most visited sites in Brittany. The old lighthouse at the outpost
stands despite the tumult of the sea wave. The worst pass on the
French coast that the fishermen here happily cross. We now begin our descent
along the Cornish coast towards La Trinité-sur-Mer. We will stop in Concarneau after
having rounded the tip of Penmarc’h marked by the D’eckmühl lighthouse. Its magma rock tower
gives it unfailing strength. On the way, it is not surprising to come across
schools of trawlers returning to Guilvinec with its fleet of 130 vessels. Le Guilvinec defends its title
as the leading artisanal fishing port. There is no shortage of supporters to encourage him. Unloading the fish is
an event that fresh catch lovers would n’t miss
for anything in the world. If the fishing crisis
spared Guilvinec. Elsewhere, the adventure
ended in a damp squib. Most of the neighboring ports have hung up
their nets, preferring to play the tourism card. This is precisely the case of Bénodet,
which is now launching its lines towards tourists. With the richness
of its heritage as bait. Let live. Moor in the heart of the city. Its fortified island. In fact, the other walled city
in Brittany after Saint-Malo. A former priory that became a garrison town,
Concarneau gradually turned to fishing. But since then, activity has
fallen to a low. The fishermen of Concarneau are
not giving up. The fresh fishing fleet
includes nine sardine boats. These are considered Mohicans since
the silver fish migrated to other depths. But no matter,
sailors care so much about their ships that they use them
to trap other prey. The Sardine Boat can unroll several
hundred meters of net and when the trap closes on the schools
of blue fish, the arms of this crewman are not too much,
even when it comes to throwing back into the sea a catch deemed insufficient. Although listed as an
endangered species, sardine fishermen are in their element here. It’s hard to say the same
about this strange bird. At the helm was
the two-time winner of the Route du Rhum, Roland Jourdain, who was
testing his new trimaran that day. Although alone in the race,
the crew for the day snatched victory by exceeding the
wind speed for a moment, propelling the multihull. To the south, the Glénan archipelago is considered
the Mecca of sailing schools in France. It is also said to be
a glimpse of Tahiti in its lagoons, reminiscent of the Polynesian atoll island. Back on the continent, buried
in the hinterland, Pont-Aven, a picturesque town if ever there was one. In the 19th century, an American invented
an artistic movement there which gave rise to the Pont-Aven school of painters. Its leader, a certain Paul Gauguin, is
putting the finishing touches to his career in the Marquesas Islands. In other words, on the other side of the world. If the mother requires
constant vigilance. The swell arc at the entrance to the Ria
d’Etel is, so to speak, a forbidden zone. The foam hides a sandbank
feared by the best sailors. Also, a piece of advice is to avoid
crossing these turbulences without the express permission
of the surveillance semaphore. West of Etel, Quiberon Bay
is much more welcoming. Moreover, in summer,
the beaches are barely enough to contain the population, which increases tenfold in the space of
two months. As you go up the bay of Quiberon,
the oyster farms appear. They extend beyond the visible under
depths that the tide never uncovers. Quiberon is home to the famous
flat oyster, which is also grown in many other parks along the French coast. This means that several hundred
kilometers of spat are deposited on the seabed each year. A short distance away
and on dry land. Like a petrified army,
the alignments of megaliths at Carnac date back to prehistory. The first menhirs were
carved 6000 years before Jesus Christ. The columns are parked
over four kilometers. A spectacle offering many similarities
with the rows of pontoons in the floating port of La Trinité-sur-Mer. In the heart of the bay,
from 7 to 77 years old and from Easter to December, the Trinity always offers the same spectacle. No one seems to be doing
anything but tacking. More than 20 regattas
start from Trinidad each year. More or less long,
more or less run. So it’s no surprise to see
the skippers sailing in a handkerchief. To leave La Trinité-sur-Mer and go
from Quiberon Bay to the Gulf of Morbihan. The Unique Passage was a narrow bottleneck
barely a kilometer wide. For this reason, the water that enters and exits
at this location reaches torrential speeds. Morbihan is the
literal translation of small sea. A third of the gulf’s surface area is
made up of mudflats, which are a delight for shore fishermen. Many of the islands are
privately owned, except for Ares and Île aux Moines. Recognizable by its T-shape. We do not know how many islands
and islets emerge in the Gulf of Morbihan. But the landscape is so magical that we
like to believe the legend, claiming that they are as
numerous as the days in a year. Our journey ends on the
southern shore of the Gulf of Morbihan. Suscinio Castle was
the favorite vacation spot of the Dukes of Brittany. This was before the former duchy was
attached to the crown of France, but that is another story.

🔹 Bretagne – Mer d’Iroise : Sur la côte de Granite Rose. A Perros Guirec, même les édifices ont cette teinte. De l’Archipel de Bréhat écrin de verdure et de fleurs jusqu’à Roscoff le relief est en ronds et en bosses. Cap ensuite sur la Pointe Saint-Mathieu lancée dans l’immensité de la Mer d’Iroise s’étendant jusqu’à l’île d’Ouessant. Mais avant, il y a la côte des Légendes et l’Aber Wrac’h, un estuaire pas très orthodoxe, enjambé par le pont du diable …

🔹 Bretagne – Sud : Le littoral du sud de la Bretagne est échancré de baies. La rade de Brest, 2ème plus grande base navale de France. Les autres : baie de Quiberon, golfe du Morbihan, petites mer constellée d’îles. Descente sur la côte de Cornouailles direction la Trinité-sur-mer où surgissent les grands navigateurs. Au détour du phare d’Eckmühl et sa tour en roche de magma, convergent les chalutiers. Spectacle ébouriffant. Le cabotage se poursuit du côté de Pont Aven, cité pittoresque s’il en est. Un certain Paul Gauguin y exerçait son art …
