Brittany seen from space, its islands with dark blue or turquoise waters, this is what astronaut Thomas Pesquet was able to admire during his six-month stay on board the International Space Station. He took the opportunity to take a series of splendid photos, which we suggest you discover below, with his personal comments.
Brest
The nuclear submarine base on Long Island (Crozon), opposite Brest
North Brittany
North Brittany, towards Saint-Malo: the Emerald coast takes over from the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. Sand and water create like a giant sandglass that flows to Cancale..
Morbihan
Some very beautiful houses on the islands of the Gulf of Morbihan..
Groix
Groix, the garnet island, very recognizable from space: if you can't see the Red Sands from here, the convex beach is inratable!
Lorient
It is almost summer in Lorient (April 2017), which is perhaps already busy for the interceltic festival.
Port-Navalo (Arzon)
Port-Navalo and its pastel colours guard the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan.
Quiberon
I think that Morbihan is one of the regions of France that I like the most to photograph... Here the peninsula of Quiberon and its superb Grand Plage which has nothing to envy to the islands of the south... except maybe a few degrees? ;)
Saint-Brieuc
In the bay of Saint Brieuc, there are small regular squares on these islets (left). Oyster traps...?
Côtes-d'Armor with Saint Brieuc... Yes Normandy invented the cider, but the Bretons have the cake;)
Saint-Malo
Face to face between Dinard and the corsair city Saint Malo, the tomb of Chateaubriand between the two
