<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The lake of the Drennec is an artificial lake created in1981. It measures 113 hectars and is a reserve for trouts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The water, which is pure, is fed by the Elorn River and the Mougau river. There is a rich vegetation and fauna and it is a paradise for fishing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The lake ends with a dam which makes it possible to supply Brest area in water. The draught of 1976 highlighted the difficulties of supplying drinkable water to the population of North Finistère (including Brest, Landerneau and Landivisiau)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">A nautical center enables people to practise swimming, sailing and nautical activities on the lake. A hiking path goes around the lake too.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666699;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666699;">Le lac du Drennec est un lac artificiel qui fait partie du Parc Régional d&#8217;Armorique,  a été créé en 1981 et mesure 113 hectares. Il est alimenté par l&#8217;Elorn et le Mougau et son eau est pure en raison de sa situation en amont du bassin versant de l&#8217;Elorn. Cela en fait une réserve pour les truites. C&#8217;est un paradis pour la pêche et on y trouve une riche végétation ainsi qu&#8217;une faune variée.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666699;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666699;"><img title="Guide " src="http://www.maison-de-la-riviere.fr/IMG/jpg/topoguide_lac.jpg" border="0" alt="Guide " width="200" height="286" /></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666699;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span>La sécheresse de 1976 a mis en évidence les difficultés d&#8217;alimentation en eau potable. C&#8217;est pourquoi le Lac du Drennec a été créé pour alimenter la ville de Brest en eau ainsi que Landerneau et Landivisiau et de manière plus générale le Finistère Nord. Un barrage y a été construit. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666699;">Il est aménagé par la suite de façon à permettre la pratique de divers loisirs nautiques comme la natation, la voile mais aussi la randonnée pédestre</span>.</span></p>

<p> <span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Si quelqu&#8217;un n&#8217;a pas la conscience tranquille, et se promène dans la forêt du Cranou, près du Faou, aux alentours de la pierre en forme de Korrigan, à 12h pile, il voit une licorne blanche. En s&#8217;approchant elle devient de plus en plus noire pour devenir aussi foncée qu&#8217;un corbeau. Elle se rue sur le promeneur et elle le perce avec sa corne. Il devient alors un fantôme et la licorne lui laisse 12 heures pour accomplir 12 très bonnes actions. Si il les réussit, la licorne redevient blanche et s&#8217;en va.</strong></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Voici ce qui est arrivé à Loïc. Il avait refusé d&#8217;aider ses parents aux champs. Ils y sont morts de fatigue et de vieillesse. A cause de sa fierté, il refusait d&#8217;admettre que c&#8217;était de sa faute. </strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Un jour, il rencontra la licorne mais il ne fit que 3 bonnes actions: il avait aidé une vieille personne a traverser la chaussée, il avait peint une fresque pour des enfants et il avait ramené un chien perdu à son maître. La licorne, furieuse de la fainéantise de Loïc, le laissa à son sort jusqu&#8217;à ce qu&#8217;une autre personne malveillante prenne sa place. Depuis lors, Il erre toujours dans cette forêt, et à 12h tous les jours on peut entendre les bruits de sabots de la licorne résonner parmi les arbres de la forêt du Cranou. </strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff3366;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496115371140079234" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nm9ySucveA8/TEYfz3VeXoI/AAAAAAAAAOA/NWZdVFpoM9U/s320/a62d_1_b.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></strong></span></em></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff3366;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Unicorn</strong></span></em></span></span></span></p>
<p> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-size: large;">If someone does not have a clean conscience and walks in the forest of the Cranou, near the Faou, next to the rock in the shape of a Korrigan, at midday, he sees a white unicorn. When she comes, she grows blacker and blacker until it has the color of a crow. She rushes at the traveller and she pierces him with her horn. Then he turns into a ghost and the unicorn gives him 12 hours to perform 12 very good actions. If he succeeds, the unicorn turns white again and leaves.</span></span></strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Here is what happened to Loïc. He had refused to help his parents in the fields and they died there of exhaustion and old age. Because of his pride he refused to admit that it was his fault. One day, he met the unicorn but he only did three good actions: he had helped an old woman cross the road, he had painted a fresco for kids, and he had returned a lost dog to its owner. The unicorn, who was furious about Loïc&#8217;s laziness, abandoned him to his fate, until another evil-looking person passes by. He is still in the forest and at noon, every day, you can hear the sound of the unicorn&#8217;s hooves.</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img title="Licorne noire" src="http://idata.over-blog.com/0/44/78/99/571538087-small.jpg" alt="Licorne noire" width="287" height="400" /></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><em><span style="color: #008000;"> Locate the forest of the Cranou (in green on the map)</span></em></strong></span></span></span></p>

<p lang="en"><a name="result_box"></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What kind of mine is it? And where is it?/ </span></span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: medium;">The Locmaria-Berrien Mine is in Locmaria-Berrien, near Huëlgoat. It&#8217;s a silver and lead mine. The mine was in operation intensely for 137 years, starting in 1741. Two thousand four hundred people worked and lived in this industry. It was the biggest mine in the Kingdom in the 18th century. Today the formidable machines are all </span><span style="font-size: medium;">definitely</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">shut down , with only the ruins testifying to this important Breton industrial patrimony. <span style="color: #0000ff;">La mine de Locmaria-Berrien est située non loin d&#8217;Huëlgoat. Il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;une mine de plomb argentifère. La mine fut exploitée pendant 137 ans à partir de 1741. Deux mille quatre cent personnes y travaillaient et vivaient de cette industrie. Aujourd&#8217;hui les machines impressionnantes sont toutes arrêtées et il ne reste que des ruines pour témoigner de ce patrimoine industriel Breton d&#8217;importance que peu de monde connaît aujourd&#8217;hui. Heureusement, quelques passionnés comme nos deux guides membres de l&#8217;Association pour la Sauvegarde de l&#8217;Ancienne Mine ainsi que M. Le Guern, maire de Locmaria-Berrien s&#8217;efforcent de faire revivre ce passé,  d&#8217;entretenir le site et de le faire connaître.</span></span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Work conditions/ <span style="color: #0000ff;">Des conditions de travail très difficiles</span></span></span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size: medium;">Were hard. The days were long: 12 to 16 hours in summer and 8 hours in winter. The conditions in the mine caused many health problems, like dysentery, lung problems, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and saturnism because of the lead. <span style="color: #0000ff;">Les journées étaient longues: de 12 à 16 heures en été et de 8 heures en hiver. Les conditions dans la mine étaient à l&#8217;origine de nombreux problèmes de santé comme la dysenterie, des affections pulmonnaires, la tuberculose, la fièvre typhoïde et le saturnisme en raison de la présence de plomb.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">There were women and children (12-14 years old) assigned to wash the ore</span>. In the mines there were cart drivers and many other workers./ <span style="color: #0000ff;">Des femmes et des enfants </span></span><span style="color: #0000ff;">étaient chargés de laver le minerai. Dans les mines il y avait des conducteurs de charriots et beaucoup d&#8217;autres ouvriers.</span></span></p>
<p lang="en"> <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Strikes/<span style="color: #0000ff;"> Les grèves</span></span></span></p>
<p lang="en"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1767 the women who washed the ore went on strike because the company wanted to lower their salaries. The strike lasted 6 weeks and the women won. This was the first women workers&#8217; strike in France.<span style="color: #0000ff;"> En 1767 les femmes qui lavaient le minerai se mirent en grève car la compagnie voulait diminuer leurs salaires. La grève dura 6 semaines et la compagnie dut céder faute de main d&#8217;oeuvre suffisante. Ce fut la première grève de femmes en France.</span></span></p>

<p>In France and in Brittany, from the 1st to the 7th of April, many actions will be led to promote sustainable development. Schools, companies, associations and visit centers like &#8221; La Maison de l&#8217;Eau et de la Rivière&#8221; in Sizun and &#8220;Les Moulins de Kerouat&#8221; , an eco museum in Commana in the Monts d&#8217;Arrée, will take part in this event by organising conferences and guided visits on different topics like water resources, biodiversity (with the Group of Mammalogy, interested in preserving many mammal species among which endangered species, in Brittany). Many initiatives in favour of our environment will be rewarded by a Trophy.</p>
<p>On the 12th of April we (26 students from the European class and their Science, English teachers and librarian) will go on a visit of the &#8220;Maison de l&#8217;eau et de la rivière&#8221; and the folk museum &#8220;Moulins de Kerouat&#8221; as well as a visit of a traditional Breton house and the Parish Close of Plounéour-Ménez. We&#8217;ll have the opportunity to talk and learn about biodiversity and aquatic environments and water as well as Breton history. And our students will share their newly acquired knowledge and their experience with you on this blog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>17 Mar<br />
I should be thinking about my work, but all my thoughts are for a people thousands of miles away. I hurt so much inside for these people I have never known, from a place I have never been. All the fear, hurt and sorrow they must have, losing so many they loved. Great towns and villages washed away in a few minutes.<br />
I feel ashamed that my physical life remains unchanged today, though my emotions are devastated. Though we are different, we are the same. I would like to reach out to these people, but I have nothing to offer. How do you say, &#8220;Everything will be OK.&#8221;</p>
