I've missed #TombTuesday again, but as this morning I'm looking into representations of the Table des Marchands, Locmariaquer, on behalf of a French colleague, here's a charming ink on tracing paper sketch by one of the Lukis family, mid 19th century #Brittany #archaeology 🏺

Anne of Brittany, born 25 January 1477: by means of calculated marriages to two successive French kings, Charles VIII and Louis XII, she preserved Brittany’s autonomy for a time; yet those unions ultimately ensured its absorption into the French crown after her death at 36.

A woman stands at night beside a stone parapet, her figure illuminated by the warm flame of a single candle held carefully in her left hand. She wears a pale, finely wrought slip that falls in soft, uninterrupted lines, its delicacy heightened by a dark fur cloak draped loosely over her shoulders. In her right hand she holds an oval locket, opened and examined with quiet concentration, its miniature portrait catching the candlelight. Her fair hair is arranged in gentle waves, framing a face marked by introspection rather than display, her gaze lowered and absorbed. Before her lies an unfurled map, its pale surface etched with routes and borders, suggesting travel, power, or remembrance. Behind her, a Gothic cityscape rises into shadow beneath a clouded, moonlit sky, towers and stone façades receding into darkness. The scene balances intimacy with historical gravity, evoking secrecy, memory, and the fragile authority of private thought set against enduring stone and night.

Gicquello, curé of the church of Saint-Jean-Brévelay, Brittany, opened a silver head there which contained some of the relics of John of Beverley (†721) #OTD in 1793. He then hid the Northumbrian saint’s bones from rampaging French republicans. 📸fgaret #medievalsky

The truly epic Ile Carn tumulus, one that can only be reached, on foot, at low tide. #TombTuesday #Brittany #Bretagne #Breizh
A large stony mound which outcrops of grass, moss and thrift threaten to consume. At the base are two black portals and in between them a side that reads in French ‘ thank you for not climbing on the tumulus - protected site’ An inner chamber vault with exquisite stone work lit by a small doorway through which daylight floods. This was built in the Neolithic, if someone told you it was a medieval abbey crypt you probably wouldn’t argue.

Over 50 years, more than 200,000 barrels of radioactive waste were dumped into the northeast Atlantic but no one knows where they are. On June 15, a French-led team of scientists will set sail from Brittany in a bid to map the barrels and assess their impacts on surrounding marine ecosystems.

For nearly five decades, more than 200,000 barrels of radioactive waste were dumped in the icy depths of the northeast Atlantic. Today, no one knows precisely where these barrels are located, or what…

Yeah, imagine if one of those British countries (not even gonna *mention* the "Brittany" thing) had a documented alliance with the french going back centuries, and they were the ones who spoke with the dwarf accent...

Not angry or anything, but you can in fact say "English" here 😂

We take a look at the Brittany region, its own identity, & its own myth of the Great War. From there we look at the experience of some Breton formations in the French Army and the maelstrom they faced on May 27th, 1918, the opening of the German Blücher-Yorck attack on the Chemin des Dames.

Sometimes the menhir dots on French maps turn out to be hard to find and very ruined. This, the Allée couverte de Kerivalan near Gouarec in #Brittany #Bretagne #Breizh radiating a ‘dark woodland’ energy (actually in brash by a ploughed field). But let that illusion be for #StandingStoneSunday
A lichen covered square slab of granite protrudes from broken branches as though it’s being released from the netherworld. Bramble and greenery half bury it and behind several trees provide it with shelter.

In six months or whatever, French people will be polled with questions such as “Do you support a nuclear strike on a major American city if the United States invades Brittany?”, 67% of the respondents will say “Yes, I strongly do”, and it won't even make the headlines anymore

"What about the global nature of this phenomenon?" I brought up the French cases, the landings, and the humanoid sightings. They were not interested.

15 Jan 1801 // 12-gun cutter HMS Lurcher, part of the blockading squadron off Brittany, was captured by a 12-gun French privateer. The court martial cleared her officers of blame after hearing that she was unfit for action: most of her guns were dismounted or faulty. #RoyalNavy #NavalHistory

Brittany https://www.wikiart.org/en/maxime-maufra/brittany-1892
This painting by Maxime Maufra, titled 'Brittany,' captures the serene landscape of the region with its meandering river, lush greenery, and distant hills under a softly hued sky. Maufra, known for his contributions to both Impressionism and the Pont-Aven School, often depicted tranquil rural scenes that emphasized the natural beauty of the French countryside.

14 Jan 1797 // After engaging French 74-gun Droits de l'homme alongside HMS Indefatigable, battle-damaged 36-gun frigate HMS Amazon was wrecked, with six lives lost, in Audierne Bay, Brittany. HMS Indefatigable sailed clear, but the Droits de l'homme was also wrecked following the battle. [1/2]
