So, and because a picture can paint a thousand words, here are some photos of those very peculiar beaches. In real life the boulders actually had a pinkish glow to them, but with the time the photos have somewhat faded.
I hope you'll enjoy them anyway!
1995: the beach at Trebeurden. There's even a castle at the horizon.
I don't know its name though.

Bolders lined up by some pre-historic giant ... or FF?
Me, feeling on top of the world ...
and probably going through a second
Barbie stage, considering the pink outfit. Or maybe
it was because I wanted to blend in with the 'granit rose'?

Brittany is very pretty. I spent 3 weeks in l'ile Tudy learning how to sail when I was 11 years old and spent many summers in "l'ile d'Yeu". In l'ile Tudy, a really old fisherman was one of the last few that had done the Cape Horn route a number of times (pre huge tankers era, airplanes and the Panama canal).
Nadege, Brittany is a very lovely region indeed. The weather can be a bit uncooperative though :).
Sue keeps saying that she wants to visit Brittany - I must read more on the area.
Leon, Brittany is definitely worth a visit. There is a big difference between the north and the south coast. The north is rougher and wilder, while the south has a more gentle feel to it. However, food is great all over: crêpes and gallettes like you like them, gorgeous sea food and a large variety of fresh vegetables.
We have had many wonderful holiays in Brittany. It would have been Nick's first choice as location for a holiday home but property is much more expensive there. Luckily it's only a couple of hours' from our little corner of the Loire so we can still satisfy his need for a fix of the seaside occasionally !!
Leon - I can vouch for the seafood and the galettes - scrumptious !
Jean, Brittany was my first choice too ... until I discovered Amboise! For now, it's just my favourite holiday destination, but I hope that one day ....
Martine check out one of my favorite blog (02/01/10)

Ahaaaa - Martine, I didn't realise you had ambitions to actually live in the Loire.
I can understand why, though !
Jean, I wouldn't call it an ambition, but rather a dream as I would have to solve some unsolvable issues first ;)
Nadege, Thank you for the link. The name Finch sounds slightly familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen any of his work.
