Maybe it will be soon! I train, in fact, but according to your answer, the project of going to work in Quimper….for a long time I have been haunted by the Breton Islands and the people who live there or have lived there.

It seems that there is a particular wealth of facts, incidents, local stories concerning Sein, the Glenans, the Molene Archipelago, Ouessant….Do you know the librarian?.....Actually I think of a film: “Le courier des Iles” but it is quite possible that I will first write a great story…..please convey my respects to Madame Chartois and receive, dear friend, my faithful friendships….').
