Traditional Costumes of Brittany - Bragou Bras

breton vintage postcard

This charming little Breton is wearing the 'bragou bras'. These linen puffy trousers end just above the knee and were the everyday work breeches of men and boys in the early 1900's of Brittany. This bonny boy is about to smoke his first pipe too! bretton francais

Crêpes and Apple Cider

vintage postcards


I just got back from a darling little crêpe restaurant! I had a savoury ham, cheese and potato filled buckwheat crêpe topped with salad and a fried egg! I was a bit shocked the first time I saw a sunny side up egg staring up at me from my plate. It's a delicious combination though!

These little vintage postcard chickadees are drinking cider.. hiccup! The little 'Breton' (someone from Brittany) is holding a crêpe in his hand:) I used a fork myself!
