CONCARNEAU - LE POULDU - SAINT MAURICE
After three delightful days in Pont-Aven we continued the last moves west of thisbetter than average travel
When I was about 14 years old I was new in shells for 1 year and pretty intensivealready my parents took me to a special place the old city of Concarneau This was bynow more than 4 decades ago Concarneau was already specialized in summer tourismand one of the inhabitants got a house full of glued shells which he transformed in asmall museum So one could see in his house hundreds of small dolls the shirts made ofPatella vulgata the body a Buccinum undatum the arms Turritella communis and so onBut there were also ships houses and the like Not one square centimeter inside hismuseum was left without a glued and varnished shell
What I remember the most are miniatures of animals - cows and horses - of whichthe legs were made of Troschelia berniciensis I had never seen this shell and I did notmanage to get even one from the old man It took me a decade before I realized what hegot from his local fishermanhellip In my whole life I returned only once to Concarneau and didnot find back the shop Same experience now on my third visit gone A strange story
For newcomers to the newsletters best follow this trip on Google Earth by typingKey words such as Concarneau andor Quiberon This will give an easy geographicoverview of how we move The same keywords can be used in Wikipedia many of theplaces are so charged with history that Wikipedia has pages and pages with the mostinteresting details on each of them Concarneau is a small but good example on that
We continue with documented photographs

Concarneau today is two different parts the old medieval city similar to Saint-MaloConcarneau has still all defense walls from 750 years ago standing Next to this is themodern city big and well doing
On this photo the modern city on the right the entrance with the typical bridgegoing to the gates of what is called the Ville Close or the Closed City - the old anduppermost touristic part
In contrast with Saint-Malo Concarneau is much smaller but equally charming Asyou can see on the bridge thousands of people go in For us this was the least goodexperience in the whole trip because the place was crowded almost elbow to elbow in asingle road with dozens and dozens of tourist shops One could hardly move So wereduced our stay inside the city to a couple of hours the time to go in do the traject makea little shopping and back to the cars
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 320
The parking for cars is about 500 meters walking from the Ville Close but the view istruly nice here the outside walls with old roofs pointing above them and the ancient towerof the church
In front a few boats all leisure boats except one rather small fishing boatConcarneau has a long tradition of tuna fishing with blue nets We are indeed in theFinistegravere which is the most western point of France sticking far out in the Atlantic OceanThe Finistegravere has a special atmosphere which we like much Less rich in shells comparedto places as Licircle de Breacutehat or Quiberon but it is all in the great ocean experience a deepblue sea with superb waves and white foams
I spend quite some months in the Finistegravere in places as Pentrez - with a wide beachwhere one can find Acteon tornatilis at low tide or Audierne where at 15 years I couldexperience fabulous underwater hunting parties Long gone times with other valuescompared to today Douarnenez got strong souvenirs of big boats with thousands oflangoustines arriving from West Africa - with each time dozens of Cymbium shells for thetourist business

Inside the old city on top of the crowded people the locals went ahead with a piperband It was a lovely sight and it brought in great atmosphere This is not Scotland butpipers are part of the Celtic culture and the Bretons have their own bands and songs whichare popular It was good to see that many youngsters continue the piping tradition
As a harbor Concarneau gathered spices from all over the planet and some of theshops specialized in that to the delight of Mona who is particularly good also in Indiandishes

httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 520
After the not so brilliant crowded experience of Concarneau back to nature We paida visit to Le Pouldu in the traces of our beloved painter Gauguin
Le Pouldu is part of a commune that listens to the Celtic name Clohars-Carnoeumlt LePouldu is also a small harbor that attracted quite some tourists at the end of the 19th
century and before the WWI
A lady called Marie Henry built in 1887 a pension called the Buvette de la PlageHard to translate but translated rudimentarily it means Drinking place on the Beach
In October 1889 Paul Gauguin and the Dutch painter Meyer de Haan went livingthere They were joined by other painters who usually were in nearby Pont-Aven not theleast Seacuterusier was part of the group in the pension
These gentlemen made a wild feast of their art in the Buvette of Marie Henry Mariebecame the lover of de Haan and they got a baby together All painters painted wallswindows furniture and even the ceilings Then there were lots of musical evenings and thelike Gauguin left Le Pouldu in 1890hellip But the region attracted dozens of other artists asdid another nearby village
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 620
The Buvette de la Plage of Marie Henry The place where it all happened It is now asmall but nice museum well kept There is also a museum shop with many books on thepainters and the events to be remembered
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 720
The reconstruction is well done including the Japanese Ukiyo-e-woodblockpaintings They all knew Hokusai Hiroshige and the others It is thought that Gauguincopied his black lines around the subjects from the Japanese woodblockshellip Otherstudents of the painter think his lines were inspired by his few months in pottery factoriesnear Paris
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 820
And this is how these gentlemen arranged the Buvette of Marie Henry The originaldrawings were removed and sold as soon as the artists left what we see now arereproductions but well done and truly realistic Gauguin became indeed expensive shortlyafter he left Le Pouldu
Gauguin - his working place Looking at it I find there is little difference between thisand many houses I have seen in my countryside as a kid - between 1958 and 1962
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 920
Especially this was very touching to my heart as both my grandfathers - they wereabout 80+ when I was very young got these and they used them daily in the garden All insolid wood I remember they put thick socks and straw inside
We spent some exciting time in Le Pouldu which is a nice place with a big estuarysmall harbor and of course the Buvette After that wider horizons attracted A few yearsago Sheila and I stumbled upon a fantastic place well hidden in the countryside TheAbbey of Saint-Maurice de Carnoeumlt
A small but amazingly beautiful ride from Le Pouldu will bring you there The abbey isalso part of Clohars-Carnoeumlt but is situated higher on the river on the right bank of thestart of the estuary
It is one of the most attractive places of Brittany yet still undiscovered by the masstourism The above photo is what you see when arriving at the high tide The river Laiumlta inall its glory Tons of birdlife and all kinds of nature untouched

As usual the monks changed a little the place around but only for the better Theymade themselves a grand park This Abbey was founded in 1170 and the monks built italong an old Roman Road For 6 centuries a group of Cistercian monks took care then itwas renovated in the 17th century to be destroyed by the French revolution and the Terrorregime that followed
Inside some medieval Cistercians architecture One sees the same in Belgiumusually also destroyed by the French Terror regime at that same time

Many of the ruins are like in a movie Charming peaceful witnesses of times long gone
We saw flying around several of these large guys about 4 cm in length a wasp likenever seen before in Europe It is called the European hornet Vespa crabo and they can

spray their venom half a meter around They have painful stingshellip
And in the forest about everywhere in the underwoods with dead wood many Elonaquimperiana a protected species in France We do not know why protected the forests inBrittany are about full of them from the north to the southhellip But first time we couldphotograph these alive ourselves A beautiful animal
Possibly a kind of Erebia species many were flying around on the grass fields Insectlife is untouched in these forests

httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 1420
The monks made sure you can relax everywhere Here a tree of about 150 years oldstill alive Most likely this bank has also seen a lot of history

For the readers of the newsletters it is no secret any longer I love fishes Here I couldpoint to Sheila some of my beloved creatures hiding in the many water channels
But to all good things comes an end After the Abbey of Saint-Maurice de Carnoeumltwhere we spend an almost complete afternoon we headed back to Saint-Malo for onenight The next day we traveled the 700 km north to Belgium
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201

There I found back part of my libraries and collections Here my beloved Punu maskfrom around 1930 from Gabon Behind you can see that the shell books are never far awayon the left a poor condition series with Gmelin books on the right the PMM books Eachplace has its charms

Inside the old city on top of the crowded people the locals went ahead with a piperband It was a lovely sight and it brought in great atmosphere This is not Scotland butpipers are part of the Celtic culture and the Bretons have their own bands and songs whichare popular It was good to see that many youngsters continue the piping tradition
As a harbor Concarneau gathered spices from all over the planet and some of theshops specialized in that to the delight of Mona who is particularly good also in Indiandishes
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 520
After the not so brilliant crowded experience of Concarneau back to nature We paida visit to Le Pouldu in the traces of our beloved painter Gauguin
Le Pouldu is part of a commune that listens to the Celtic name Clohars-Carnoeumlt LePouldu is also a small harbor that attracted quite some tourists at the end of the 19th
century and before the WWI
A lady called Marie Henry built in 1887 a pension called the Buvette de la PlageHard to translate but translated rudimentarily it means Drinking place on the Beach
In October 1889 Paul Gauguin and the Dutch painter Meyer de Haan went livingthere They were joined by other painters who usually were in nearby Pont-Aven not theleast Seacuterusier was part of the group in the pension
These gentlemen made a wild feast of their art in the Buvette of Marie Henry Mariebecame the lover of de Haan and they got a baby together All painters painted wallswindows furniture and even the ceilings Then there were lots of musical evenings and thelike Gauguin left Le Pouldu in 1890hellip But the region attracted dozens of other artists asdid another nearby village
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 620
The Buvette de la Plage of Marie Henry The place where it all happened It is now asmall but nice museum well kept There is also a museum shop with many books on thepainters and the events to be remembered
9282019 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=201 720
The reconstruction is well done including the Japanese Ukiyo-e-woodblockpaintings They all knew Hokusai Hiroshige and the others It is thought that Gauguincopied his black lines around the subjects from the Japanese woodblockshellip Otherstudents of the painter think his lines were inspired by his few months in pottery factoriesnear Paris
