comments,
- Sailors navigating the rocky inlets near here...""Are glad these stairs lead to a lantern room
- Beyond these stairs, and just across the surf to the mainland...""Is a French region closely associated with the Celtic tribes of Britain
- Those tiles lining the walls are made from a kind of glass popularized in France in the 1800s.""The glass is so polished, they say even dust won\t cling to it
- The coastal waters here are renowned for producing a lucrative crop.""Let\s follow one farmer as he brings in the harvest
