Having finished all the mainland segments of Brittany's coastal trail (the GR34) and many of the islands, I'm now at 1,461 miles logged since November 2014. Here are all my GR34 photos to date. Bay of Quiberon I plan to finish the last few remaining pieces of this...
At the end of May, I was in Brittany for the biennial week-long festival, the Semaine du Golfe. This "Week of the Gulf" is a celebration of the boating history of the Gulf of Morbihan. There is no racing, but numerous other boat-related festivities, including a...
Last month, I completed the last official segment of the GR34, the trail that follows the entire coast of Brittany. I hiked from Vannes to Le Tour-du-Parc on the Presqu'île de Rhuys (Rhuys Peninsula), spotting the bike and rental car in order to hike one-way and sleep...

Earlier this year, I wrote about the week-long biennial boat festival in the last week of May, the Semaine du Golfe, in the Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany. Today I finally uploaded all my videos from this festival, primarily from the spectacular boat parade on the...
The Festival Interceltique, the largest Celtic music festival in the world, held in Lorient every year, is set for August 3-12, 2018! Lorient street art I was lucky enough to catch the very last night of the festivities last year, as my latest three or so weeks of...
