Saint-Brieuc
(Brittany)
Pop: 50,000
In northwest France on the Gouet and Gouedic Rivers, Saint-Brieuc
is an industrial town specializing in textiles and
metallurgy that was named after St. Briomach (Briocus), a
Welsh missionary, circa the 5th century A.D.
It also attracts the tourist trade and its annual music
festival alone draws 35,000 visitors. The city still
retains many wood-sided homes displayed along stone-paved
lanes.
