Glénan Archipelago in the south of Finistère (Brittany)
Finistère's southern Archipelago is formed of tiny islands gathered around Saint Nicolas. Its lagoon and its fine sandy beaches are perfect for sunbathing and learning how to sail and dive. That's surely why the biggest sailing school in Europe was created there.

French island aims to run exclusively on renewable energy | AFP
The French island of Saint-Nicolas des Glénan, off the coast of Brittany, already has a wind turbine, two solar power plants and photovoltaic panels, but now the island is hoping to become the first French island to run exclusively on renewable energy. The Glénan archipelago welcomes around 3,000 visitors per day and houses the largest sailing academy in Europe.

Belle-Île-en-Mer: Wie schön ist die größte Insel der Bretagne wirklich?
Die Belle-Île-en-Mer ist die größte Insel der Bretagne. Schaut man auf die Zahlen aus dem Tourismus, dann scheint die Insel auch eine der beliebtesten der Bretagne – wenn nicht sogar ganz Frankreichs – zu sein.
Es lohnt sich daher auf die Belle-Île in der Nebensaison zu reisen und die Insel ganz idyllisch mit dem Fahrrad zu entdecken. Und genau das habe ich gemacht. Meine Mission war es herauszufinden wie schön die Belle-Île wirklich ist. Und weißt du was? Das Urteil dazu, kannst du dir nach dem Video einfach selber bilden.
Gefällt dir, das Video? Dann abonniere jetzt meinen Kanal: Vielen, vielen Dank!

The Glénan Archipelago and its Fort Cigogne get electric (Everything But The Girl / Driving)
Did you know that the #Glénan #archipelago, in #Morbihan, #French #Brittany, consists of nine main islands and a large number of #islets?
The most far away called Île des Moutons (Sheeps Island), isolated from the rest of the main group, is 7.6 km south of the Mousterlin Point. The Penfret Island, includes the rest of the very grouped archipelago, is located 10.5 km southwest of the tip of Trévignon, on the Brittany coast.
This granitic geological ensemble would once have been one & same island, very long time ago... It is even supposed that the archipelago would have been formerly attached to the continent.
Famous for its nautical club @lesglenans_officiel, the current archipelago is extremely divided, so much that its surface is difficult to calculate. The @googlemaps couldn't define all the reefs of the site.
Those Glenan islands has sometimes been described as a glimpse of #Tahiti in southern #Bretagne. It is famous for the clarity of the waters of La Chambre, the best #anchorage of the archipelago, protected area in the center-west of the circle of sea, often compared to a #lagoon. This area extends between the islands of Saint-Nicolas, Drénec, Bananec and #Cigogne (famous for its #FortCigogne, now on renovation) and serves as an #anchorage area for boaters.
During high tides, the #Chambre may be crossed by foot & becomes a paradise for fishermen who could collect #abalone & clams under the supervision of the Maritime Gendarmerie.
Lately electrically connected, through a development of #sustainableenergies on the island of Saint-Nicolas, with the installation of #photovoltaic panels & a #windturbine, while preserving its #environment & its biodiversity.
Moreover, the homecity of Fouesnant reaches a project with @enedis to reach an #energyautonomy of 90% by 2019 and 100% by 2021. Through this ambitious partnership, #Enedis accompanies the #Glenan in this project of #ecological & #energetictransition by putting its expertise at the service of 24 customers and from 1 000 to 1 500 visitors welcomed per day in summer (with peaks at 3 000).
