History Course

Hard day's work at the Breton history course today, with students in good form and fortified by Liz's excellent lunch. We covered the period 1532 to 1789, from the union of Brittany and France to the French revolution, with special subjects of trade and industry, society and religion.

History of Brittany Course - Study Day 1

After a most enjoyable start to this course with a taster day, we begin work in earnest this Tuesday at Gouarec, looking at the earlier periods of Breton history with a focus on megaliths, the Age of Saints - when Brittany began - and the 9th century kings. All places are booked but it is possible to sign up for a future repeat of the course.
