As a part Scandinavian now living in Australia, who's always been extremely fond of France, specifically Brittany & Normandy, I have to say, WOW!!! This documentary really highlights the true beauty of all that is Brittany. This documentary depicts so much of Northern France's historic culture & I so love that the French still hold true & strong to their amazing ancestral ties, because if it were ever lost forever, how truly sad that would be. I won't lie. I'm ongoingly curious, intrigued, fascinated & I absolutely love & admire, the beauty of France, it's beautiful & wonderful peoples, it's truly incredible history, culture, superb cuisine & beverages (that IMPO, are still one of the world's leading & very best), the fabulous scenery abound, insanely jaw dropping & gorgeous historical architecture abound, the stunning arts, the wonderful & beautiful regional music, the stunning traditional costumes in Brittany & Normandy (the traditional dress & the incredible, intricate lace work, is so stunning & insanely striking to witness), the sense of beautiful French community, my gosh, I could go on & on! This is a beautiful documentary, paying true homage to Brittany, a truly wonderful precious gem in Northern France. To all of my French brothers & sisters across the sea, always remain very proud of your roots & always maintain/keep your most beautiful cultures alive & well, for yourselves first & foremost & for all else to bear witness to, so they can learn much more about & so they can enjoy & come to better appreciate. To those in Brittany, please keep your stunning culture alive & well & do keep dressing up for all special occasions, as you all look truly spectacular, very beautiful & very proud, whilst wearing your finest traditional garments. I truly admire the cultures of France & I am so in awe of Brittany & all it encompasses & showcases. Tusen takk for sharing & I hope we'll get to see more of Brittany, Northern France & France in general, because you simply cannot go wrong with France. It's a truly special, magical, very intriguing & very interesting land.
May I add, IMPO, I think that this video deserves greatly, many more likes & subscribes, for it's truly deserving & makes for some very beautiful & interesting viewing.
My ancestors came from Rennes as well as Saint Jacques de La Lande and Saint Caradec as well as Saint Michel - Chef Chef. One side of the family went to Quebec and the other New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I would love to come visit one day. Such a gorgeous area!!
I have visited this region of France particularly Brest last July 2019 and I love this place, the warmth and very friendly people. Hopefully I can return again to this place in the future.
@@krzysztofkrowicki1312 There are the good & the bad all over Europe & the world & not only found within France! IMPO, I think the French everywhere are very friendly, polite & hospitable. IMPO, I think It's the fake media & many who've never even visited France or are simply focused on hatred & jealousy, who utter such negative words regarding the French people. They're just people & they're neither worse nor better than anyone else & even though many may disagree, they don't think they're better, but for some strange reason, many seem to think this is somehow true. It's utterly ridiculous!
I don't understand why they did not put in WRITING the names of the towns on the video itself. How an english speaker (just for example)is supposed to understand or know which town is shown in the movie?? I understand that the index is shown in the video description but it doesn't really help.
I think that anyone who chooses to watch this documentary, should just sit back, relax & fully immerse & enjoy this most stunning French region, being brilliantly showcased, via this awesome documentary!!
Well how very blessed you were, to find this gem of a documentary, covering such a gorgeous place within Northern France & how fortunate you are, to be granted the opportunity, to learn more regarding this truly amazing French region! Best of luck!
if you want to learn more about this country start by searching with the word Brittany, it will speak french but the image and the music cut all the languages!;) and if you have any question i can try to answer!
yes do not take it like that, Finistere (it s the official name of the western part of Brittany) derives from the Latin finis terrae, meaning "end of the earth" - but for Bretons it was the case - the end of the ground before ocean - of couse it s not the most western part of Europe - Iceland could be in the list :D (or even Greenland ) and so on.

It seems like France but cooler and less assuming.
@@krzysztofkrowicki1312 France is diverse in terms of cultural landscapes and also mentality. Your comment has no real substance.

Professionalism through and through. Brilliant. Can't get enough.
Thank you very much.
A VERY INTERESTING PART OF fRANCE WHICH WOULD BE GREAT TO VISIT WITH SO MUCH HISTORY AND TRADITIONS.....
So excellent! Hats off to these brave and skilled men!
Really love the voice over artist. Reminds me of prevalent BBC commentators from the 1960s
I had the good fortune to visit Quimper in Brittany many years ago! I just discovered quimper is in Brittany

Thank you. My family's roots are in Brittany (Perros Guirec and St. Malo) and both my grand-father and father were in the French Navy.

Too bad the video wont play:( My family name originates from here! I wanted to learn more about the place.
if you want to learn more about this country start by searching with the word Brittany, it will speak french but the image and the music cut all the languages!;)
and if you have any question i can try to answer!
@@pongonabzh9043 Yes & most documentaries contain English subtitles too, if the documentary isn't presented in English.
Describing Rennes as a 'county town' is frankly laughable. Brittany is bigger than Belgium...
Quater million people fifty years ago when I lived there, ten percent being university students!
Great footage and history here, thanks. What is the name of the instrument at 29:35?

The entire nation of Portugal would like to remind everyone that Brittany is *not* the westernmost part of Europe.
It's the westernmost part of France --'

North Western most part of mainland Europe
Correct! And it's called Cabo da Roca if I am not mistaken. Let's put it this way, Bretagne is the Western most part of France.
