Do you love your life? Whatever the answer, we know that it would still be better on a paradise island and with a few degrees warmer. Right now, we're entering the era where we wear tights under our jeans. We all hate it when we can drag our legs outside.

However, some bring us sublime landscapes and the sea air continues to persist in both summer and winter. Let's not get our hopes up, it's not 28 degrees in Brittany at the moment. However, the landscapes warm our hearts which are also cold during this gloomy period. But then what is this village in Finistère that transports us?
