PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN FOR GENERATIONS ...
THAT THEY WERE WORKING IN ONE OF EUROPE'S LOVELIEST REGIONS |

Golf, sailing or hiking?
The choice is yours, your children's too. Other than alpine skiing, you can do everything in Finistère. Although the sea
is the dominant theme, we are also fond of rivers, moors and forests. Outdoor sports lovers,
all your wishes shall be fulfilled… |
| Old gaffer or Kevlar?
We hesitated for a long time before choosing this photograph. We decided that, given the nature of our industries,
you will have assumed that we could handle Kelvar, carbon and epoxy. So instead, in a gesture of friendship we offer you
an "Old Gaffer". Our shipbuilding industries know how to build the most up-to-date civilian or naval vessels in the world.
We've therefore selected one of the best known of "classic" boats as a symbol of our way of life and of work: the alchemy
of tradition and innovation! |

Cultural heritage : an enviable network of historic and art-based towns (designated as Villes d'Art et d'Histoire)
and small characterful villages (known as Petites Cités de Caratère), walled parish enclosures that are unique in the world…
Not to be missed dates : Old Plows Festival (otherwise known as the Festival des Vieilles Charrues) of pop, rock
and R&B in Carhaix, Old Gaffers Festivals in Brest and Douarnenez, the Festival of Cornouaille in Quimper featuring Breton
and Celtic music.
Two nationally-recognised performance venues: the Quartz, Brest's International Convention Centre, and
the Théâtre de Cornouaille in Quimper.

| Living in Finistère. |
 |
| Ancestral legacy and modern way of living. Finistère is Breton and Celtic:
this cultural and historical combination can be enjoyed with great pleasure by festival goers, culture or art lovers,
wanderers of the byways of our cultural heritage and admirers of Gauguin and the painters of the Pont-Aven School. |
