Loctudy, my little paradise

Hello! Today I want to present you my little world, the place where I lives and works. Located in the west coast of France, Loctudy is a harbor in Cornwall, in the western Brittany peninsula. Our fishermen fish delicious scampis called "Les Demoiselles de Loctudy" (Loctudy's young ladies). Also known as the Bigouden country, this Breton county has taken the name "Bigouden" from the traditional feminine headgear (basically a near-cylindrical piece of lace).

With less than 5000 inhabitants, Loctudy is very quiet, and as a jewelry designer I really appreciate this natural environment, far from the stress of life and so much inspiring! Surrounded by the ocean and the forests, I like walking on the beach and collecting what I call "my small sea treasures": sea stones, sea shells and sea glass tumbled by the waves, drift wood... So many organic or mineral materials which feed my imagination by their colors, textures and forms.

My studio is located a few steps away from the harbor and the seashore. I feel so lucky every day, when I see how beautiful are the panoramas offered by the nature, with its changeable sky and tides which transform ceaselessly the seascape. There are many photographers who fall under the charm of this place. I invite you to discover their works published on Flickr:
