GR®39From Mont St Michel (Manche) to Hoscas (Loire-Atlantique) |
The GR®39 crosses Upper Brittany from North to South. It has been inhabited since prehistoric times and has witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, battles, and cultural exchanges. Medieval castles, Romanesque churches, and archaeological sites are scattered throughout the region. Along the northern coast, you will find coastal birds such as the razorbill and the grey seal. The razorbill is endangered, with fewer than thirty breeding pairs remaining. The grey seal breeds in the Iroise Sea, near Molène and Ouessant. The flora of Upper Brittany is adapted to its Atlantic climate. You will see a wide variety of hygrophilous plants near coastlines, lakes, and rivers. The Glénan daffodil, endemic to the Glénan archipelago, is a remarkable example. The viviparous sea holly, a rare plant, is found only in Morbihan.
