Fun Trivia: F : France

Special Sub-Topic: Take a trip to Brittany!


The Breton flag, consists of two colours, can you name them?

    blanche et noire (white and black). The 11 ermines on the canton stand for the 11 types of Celtic people living in Brittany (Bretagne), the black and white stripes stand for the different dialects of Bretonne and French. You see the flags, for some reason, mostly in "labour disputes" (strikes)!

Quiberon, is which type of geographical feature?
    a peninsula. Quiberon, is the home to the best canned tuna in the world! (to me)

Which of the below is a city in western France, capital of Loire-Atlantique Department, on the Loire River, near the Bay of Biscay
    Nantes. Nantes, surprisingly, is not on the coast, nor the capital! (The former capital of "Northern France"), Brittany (Bretagne) has no capital.

"La musée de la résistance Bretonne", (the museum of the Bretonne resistance) is in this city.
    Saint Marcel. I had tons of fun there, much more fun than the D-Day beaches' museums in Normandy! It's so interactive! It's mainly outdoors, and rusty.

The interactive museum in Quimper about 17th century liquor making, is known by the French name: La musée de _______.
    l'Alambic. Alambic is a Cool museum, I was lucky that I saw the machine working! Mairie means Mayorie (Mayor's residence), in French. (hope you didn't fall for that one) Département Breton: One of three art museums in the province. Faïence is a museum full of Artifacts of Vikings and Celts who first settled in the region of Brittany (Bretagne).

Name, of the choices below, the three French dialects spoken in Brittany.
    Rennes, St. Brieuc and Dol. There are five French dialects and four Breton. They are as follows: French: Dol, Nantes, Rennes, St. Malo and St. Brieuc Bretonne: Trégor, Léon, Vannes and Cornouaille. The Breton flag consists 5 black bands and 4 white ones, which stand for the preceding.

The highest point of the province, le Roc'h Trédudon, is how many metres high?
    387 metres. The 387 metre mountain could only be explored, by car (if nothing else), up a bumpy dirt road, good thing for the environment, bad thing if you are the kind of person that likes everything fancy and/or technological. (fortunately, not me!)

Who built the standing rocks of Carnac, Bretagne? (Not the Bretons)
    Moors(Muslims). Every rock is about one metre high, all aligned in rows and quite elegant. Try not to think of them as gravestones, because they are NOT graves, as no skeleton has been found under any rock.

Concarneau was a quite different little town in Bretonne, that is, only because it's completely ... what?
    walled. Sometimes called the "walled city" or " La ville murée"; over the years, Concarneau has become a great lieu of income!

Okay, let end it up with some dessert, le Kouign Amann is a yeast cake (not the capital of Jordan), traditionally served with this:
    thé (tea). The yeast cake that is slightly burnt on both sides about 5cm tall, 20cm in diametre, it tasted even better than the flapjacks of Montréal... I should have taken the recipe, though the tea it's taken with is very bitter, I guess to balance it off. Thank you for taking the time to fill me in!
