Hello everyone! How are you this Tuesday? We start this day with a macabre discovery at the port of Brest a few days ago: the body of a lifeless young woman, found between two boats. At this time, the causes of death are unclear and an investigation is underway. [L’article de Paul Bohec et Stéphane Jézéquel]
It’s not easy to make a transition after such a dramatic announcement. However, it is the daily life of the press, which reports the sad but also the beautiful moments of life. Like the arrival of Charlie Dalin. The sailor smashed the Vendée Globe counters, and should arrive in Les Sables-d’Olonne as you read these lines [Suivez le direct ici]. We can’t resist the urge to share with you this perfect song to celebrate the hero of the day, especially since its composer, Jack Jone, is celebrating his 87th birthday today! Chance does things well!
Besides, let’s continue with the birthdays of which there are many today! We hug very hard the actress Faye Dunaway (84 years old), the Green Angel Dominique Rocheteau (70 years old), as well as the musicians Étienne Daho (69 years old), Zakk Wylde, current guitarist of Pantera (58 years old), the former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl (56 years old) and rappers Soprano (46 years old) and Jul (35 years old). We also celebrate Nina and Christiane.
Come on, a little local history now. 147 years ago today, the Navy doctor, Victor Segalen, was born in Brest. At the end of a busy life, he also worked as a novelist, poet and archaeologist. We salute the memory of the man whose name was given to the Brest university.
We end with this barometer which delivered its diagnosis on a theme which will not fail to interest you: are the Bretons happy? We’ll let you discover it! For our part, as long as we spend the day together, it’s absolute happiness!
Today’s weather: bright but cool
You will certainly have noticed it if you have set foot outside: it is cold this morning! 1° (felt -1°) only, temperatures which will rise to 7° (felt 8°) in the afternoon. All in a rather sunny sky, with a few light cloud bands. The sun, by the way, will rise at 9:05 a.m. and set at 5:50 p.m. [La météo à Brest]
If you have to travel in Brittany this Tuesday, Air Breizh reports that the air quality will be “poor” in a large part of the region this Tuesday.
Traffic in real time: like a Tuesday!
Yes, this is often the case on Tuesdays, traffic is very heavy in the Brest region. We therefore drive at walking pace in many areas, notably towards Recouvrance, from rue Anatole-France and rue de la Porte to the bridge. The Corniche road is also saturated in places.
Be careful when arriving in Brest on the RN12, with a very large flow of vehicles, which logically continues on Boulevard de l’Europe, also near the La Croix-Rouge school group and Kerichen.
Traffic is also starting to increase on the Iroise bridge.
To tell you the truth, it saturates almost everywhere! [La situation avec Waze]
Threats and money-frac in Plouvien
Sunday, a man rang at the home of a resident of Plouvien, almost in her nineties. He asks for a bag to put in the corpse of a cat that he has just crushed. She is unsuspecting and lets him in, until he threatens her and robs her with the help of an accomplice… [Yann Le Gall retrace l’affaire]
