a INSIDER'S GUIDE
to the END of the EARTH

(Our department, Finistère, is named for the latin: Finis Terra, meaning 'the End of the Earth' )

Ô Bretagne ! ô très beau pays !
Bois au milieu, mer à l’entour !

Oh, Brittany ! Such a beautiful place!
Forest in the middle, and sea all around.
 
Proverbe Breton
