About This Book

The guide surveys the region's physical geography and geology, its flora, and a concise historical overview before turning to prehistoric and medieval antiquities and the distinctive parish churches and calvaries. It discusses local religious festivals called pardons and the iconography found in church sculpture, and it outlines practical advice for travelers. The second half offers alphabetical, place-by-place descriptions of towns, coastlines, and curiosities, supplemented by photographs, illustrations, and maps, with attention to local costume, customs, and travel logistics.

Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.

Variations in the spelling of Cézambre have been standardised.

Hyphenation has been standardised. The use of diacritics with place names has been standardised but not otherwise corrected.

Other variations in spelling, accents and punctuation remain.

On p170 hemblend is probably hornblende, but has not been altered.

The list of illustrations ends with "Map of Brittany page 238." This map does not exist in the available edition.
