| The
wall of Brittany is in the heart of the heart of Brittany. It is hard
to do better; especially that it is also located at equal distance from
the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. |
Wall
of Brittany is located on the edge of the Guerlédan Lake. The history
of this small borough is very ancient since it would have been
populated since the Neolithic era as attested by the megaliths, covered
alleys and different other objects. The city was always peaceful
throughout its history because of its small size. So calm that its
woods were used as hides by the chouans during the revolution troubles.
Nowadays, the city draws the essence of its economy from tourism in
particular from the leisure activities of the Guerlédan Lake. The
Guerlédan Lake is an artificial lake built in 1930 on the bed of Blavet
and a valley. The lake could have been created thanks to the dam
achieved in 1930. The aim was to provide the railroads of Brittany with
electricity. It should be known that this water reserve flooded a whole
valley. This is why, when it is emptied every ten years, the lake
conveys trees and villages that usually lie under the mud. Lastly, 17
locks were drowned making impracticable the channel from Nantes to
Brest. You said civilization? The nautical base diverts the whole
family. This lake is a little of blue in an ocean of green. |
