| | The Morbihan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | It has one of the highest concentrations of sea-birds along the wholeChannel/North Atlantic coasts of France, with numbers varying annually from 60,000 to 100,000, including a huge wintering population of barnacle geese. |
 | | Anglers can enjoy the excitement of deep-sea fishing off Quiberon, or cast their lines from the beach, while those who prefer to do their fishing inland can catch salmon, trout, pike and perch on the Morbihan's wide choice of rivers and lakes. |
 | | Josselin, rising sheer from the river, is the finest feudal castle in Brittany; Ste-Anne-d'Auray is its most important pilgrimage centre; and Vannes, the Morbihan's capital, is a beautifully restored old town, with its own small harbour leading down to the Gulf, battlemented town walls, and a wide moat transformed into a garden ablaze with flowers. |
