' Holidays Abroad : France—III' : Misa 1 MARJORIE MAXSE, 'Brittany'

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

WHEN the average Englishman thinks of going abroad for his summer holidays, his thoughts turn to Brittany first. It is so near, so accessible, so picturesque, and most of his friends have been there and enjoyed it at one time or another —for Brittany was the first place to be discovered by the English, and it remains one of the most popular. That does not by any means imply that it has been spoilt, for its little towns and villages are still full of colour and charm. Miss Maxse, who gives the talk this afternoon, is an experienced traveller in many parts of the world, and she has covered the greater part of Brittany in her wanderings, so she will be able to tell intending visitors both what to see and how to see it in order to enjoy it most.
