Magical Brittany

Illustrated book with photographs and texts by Jean-Luc Bannalec

The landscapes of Brittany are as diverse as they are breathtaking – which is why they play such an important role in the bestselling books of the Commissaire Dupin series. This high-quality illustrated volume by Jean-Luc Bannalec captures their magic.
 
The eccentric Commissaire Dupin has visited many parts of Brittany since being transferred to this far-flung corner of the world: the mythical Monts d’Arrée; bizarre heathlands and moorlands; massive jagged cliffs against which the waves of the Atlantic crash; and dreamy Mediterranean beaches of luminous coral sand. His investigations take him into the midst of fantastic pink rock formations, enchanted valleys, peaceful river landscapes and the magical forest of Brocéliande. As wide-ranging and varied as Brittany’s landscapes may be, they owe their breathtaking beauty everywhere to the singular light and colors – as demonstrated by the photos in this volume, an invitation to dream and marvel.
