  Morvan, France
The Monts du Morvan (a name of Celtic origin meaning "fl hill") are a range of hills of medium height between the Loire and the Saône rising to 900 m/3,000ft in the peak of Haut-Folin.
For centuries Morvan was the sole supplier of wood to Paris, and the Canal du Nivernais was built in 1842 to provide a convenient means of transport; 178km/108miles long, it has 110 locks and three tunnels.
The granite hills of Morvan have now been replanted with trees, and the Morvan Nature Park, established in 1970, takes in 173,000 hectares/427,000 acres of the hills, with the valleys and gorges, the streams and the numerous lakes which pattern the landscape.

 CD Baby: FABRICE MORVAN: Love Revolution
The sum of his musical experiences around the globe-including influences from his native Europe, Morvan's fusion of world music, rock beat and dance rhythms are diverse, yet tied together with his wide-ranging sensibility.
"It's Your Life" is Morvan's touching tribute to his late partner, Rob Pilatus, a stunning reminder of the group's rise and fall, and the toll it took on the life-long friends.
The center of the album is the title track, a generous call to arms for compassion and hope all the more remarkable for the fact Morvan betrays no bitterness toward a music industry that treated him so shabbily.

Both are good stories, but Morvan (the writer) made what I think is a pretty repugnant decision for the second one.
