The GR®39 crosses Upper Brittany from North to South. It has been inhabited since prehistoric times and has seen the rise and fall of kingdoms, battles, and cultural exchanges. Medieval castles, Romanesque churches, and archaeological sites dot the region. On the northern coasts, you will find coastal birds such as the razorbill and the grey seal. The razorbill is endangered, with fewer than thirty 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 great diversity of hygrophilous plants near the coastlines, lakes, and rivers. The Glénan narcissus, endemic to the Glénan archipelago, is a remarkable example. The viviparous eryngo, a rare plant, is found only in Morbihan.
