Did you know - The beret-throwing champion of all France comes from Brittany? The Klingon language is based on Breton? King Arthur and Merlin are buried in seventeen different locations in Brittany? French Impressions - Brittany is packed with facts, legends and off-beat but insightful observations about this most fascinating of French regions. Inside these covers you'll find reviews of more than a hundred Breton towns as well as dozens of classic and little-known regional recipes. You'll also find out what it's like to own property, live, or run a business across the Channel. Or how to protect your house from a thunderstorm with a row of acorns - or unblock a seriously eggbound hen. If anyone should know his onions about France and the French, it's George East. The former nightclub bouncer, private detective, radio DJ, pub landlord and gravedigger has been writing about and messing around in France for more than thirty years. This book is a record of a year spent living in a tiny hamlet in the Monts d'Arree area of Brittany.
Loved by millions of Francophiles and general readers, George's quirky, amusing yet informative style creates a vivid impression of a fascinating region, its people and past. Whichever way you look at it, this is Brittany - and Life - in a book -
