Les plus beaux ports de Bretagne - De Cancale à Pornic

With around 250 ports between Cancale and Le Croisic, Brittany can boast of having more than half of France's ports on more than 3 000 kilometres of coastline. You can be enchanted by the multiple ports of Saint-Malo as well as the small shellfish fishing port of Moguériec, the gigantic floating docks of La Trinité-sur-Mer as well as the astonishing mooring on piles of Gwin-Zegal, ports that invite themselves into the centre of towns and those that open onto the open sea.
Behind each port, there is a story, a heritage that is invented, men who work and others who dream, there are a thousand emotions to share.

This French book attempts to paint a portrait of the most endearing of them, taking into account the essential stopovers and the deliberate subjectivity without which no discovery is possible.

Secret Anchorages of Brittany

Secret Anchorages of Brittany provides concise pilotage directions for practically all the natural anchorages along the Brittany coast, from the Bay of Mont St Michel round to the great estuary of the Loire.
As with the first edition, the anchorages start near Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula and include Iles Chausey. The book enters Brittany waters near Cancale and follows the whole 300-mile coastline, with its rivers, estuaries and offshore islands, looking into every nook and cranny on the way.

This stylish second edition includes many new anchorages and is lavishly illustrated in colour, while the anchorage charts have been redrawn and verified against the Admiralty or French SHOM charts.
The pilotage sections are peppered with short features on the maritime traditions, life and history of this inimitable coast. Peter Cumberlidge is a well known writer and photographer who cruises widely under sail and power. He always returns to Brittany with affection and the new Secret Anchorages reflects his sympathy for this fabulous cruising area, the people who live here and the superlative seafood for which the coast is justly renowned.
