HOLIDAY TIME

My dear friends, I'm back from my holiday in Italy and I still think about the destination of my next holiday

Brittany (Bretagne) is a wide peninsula located in the west of France, hugged by the English Channel at the north and the Atlantic Ocean at the west.

Since the beginning of time, this land resisted the furious attacks of nature and the scars of tumultuous history. Along the coasts of the English Channel, sea and land merge together in strange rules, cutting out broad fjords named Abers by the Bretons. The powerful waves of the Atlantic crush itself heavily on the long sand beaches of the southern coast.

Brittany is indeed an ocean country.

These exclusive 'mini paradises' and the specificity of the light have attracted many painters in Brittany who came to visit or to live and to accomplish their Art like Gaughin and Van Gogh.

It is a land of legends which has been preciously kept through the ages and the superstition is still, today, in every Breton (people from Britanny) families who regularly ask for help from spiritual Healers and druids to respond to their needs in their every day life and health issues.The heart of Brittany is covered by this protective 'Brocéliande' forest, silk nest Merlin's tomb of Merlin and the legend of King Arthur.

Brittany became part of France very late in history (in 1532 when the daughter of Anne de Bretagne , duchess of Britanny dukedom, married Francois 1er, King of France).

La Bretagne is the most Western land of the old European continent, last rampart known against the marine monsters which reigned on the mysterious depths of the ocean and the imagination of our ancestors. It is also where the legend saw the Atlantis city disappeared.

CHANEL No 5

Nicole Kidman as the face of No. 5

~

The actress Audrey Tautou - who is the new face of the French fragrance Chanel No. 5 - believes the classic perfume is the ultimate smell as it is so versatile.

She said: "For me, Chanel No. 5 is a legend in itself. You can wear it, offer it as a gift and share it, but it transcends all the women who have embodied the fragrance before me."

~

Audrey - who follows in the footsteps of Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve and Nicole Kidman as the face of No. 5 - also says she doesn't feel any pressure to emulate her predecessors and would prefer to concentrate on the history of the perfume.

~

She said: "I don't compare myself with these great actresses, I don't see myself as part of their lineage. I feel closer to the fragrance itself, its history and even (founder) Coco Chanel."

~

Audrey can currently be seen in new movie 'Coco avant Chanel', in which she plays Coco.

The film tells the story of the designer's rise in the fashion industry.

Chanel No. 5 was launched in 1922 and it is estimated a bottle is sold around the world every 55 seconds.

Red

Red signifies importance and power. In some cultures red denotes purity, joy and celebration

 

Green

Green symbolises life, growth, renewal and health. In contrast to this, green is used to represent jealousy or envy.

 

Yellow

Yellow is a warm, cheerful colour. Yellow ribbons are worn as a sign of hope. It is a colour used on warning signs because we link it with danger. In Egypt yellow stands for mourning yet in Japan it means courage.
