"WELCOME TO MY BRETAGNE EN FRANCE PAGE ......:-)" Bretagne by eden_teuling

FOR HIGH TIDE TO COME, to be able to enter the harbour, like ships here near my house in The SW of the Netherlands do when they want to go to Antwerpen!!

Especially in the Northern part of BRETAGNE the phenomenon of the tides is spectacular.
It is caused by the GRAVITATIONAL FORCE of the moon and only for a little part by that of the sun.
When the moon is right above the sea it attracts the water which causes the rising of the sea level.
(High tide) After 6 hrs. when the earth has turned 1/4 around the gravitational force disappears and the water os low again, which is called low tide.

There is a lot to explain about the TIDES but let me say this : the hugest SPING-TIDES in France occur in MARCH AND SEPTEMBER (in France).
In GRANVILLE the difference between high tide and low tide can be as much as 16 metres !

ARMOR means: LAND NEAR THE SEA and the Gallic people gave Bretagne this name.
It has 1200 km. of shoreline because of the many indentations, wouldn't they be there it would only be some 600 km..
But these indentations make is so special, inviting and attractive...

In ithe most western part of BRETAGNE you can find: cliffs, high, steep, dark and island, rocks and cliffs, which give this region of the PENINSULA that Bretagne is its rough and tough views...

The LOCALS gave these places special names: PASSAGE DE LA GRANDE PEUR, BAIE DES TRéPASSéES, ENFER DE PLOGROFF

The estuaria between rivers RANCE and LOIRE offer such impressive views and there is sooooo much more.......
