Bretagne, une énergie nouvelle – Echappées belles
Partir en Bretagne, c’est se retrouver nez à nez avec une nature brute : des falaises vertigineuses, des rubans de sable, des criques secrètes et des caps déchiquetés qui se succèdent sur des kilomètres de côtes. Ces paysages magnétiques incitent le voyageur à lever le pied et à ralentir. Mais la Bretagne ne se résume pas à sa nature incomparable, c’est avant tout une région dans laquelle les habitants innovent et s’engagent pour préserver leur terre et leurs traditions. Jérôme Pitorin part à leur rencontre.

Au programme :
– Houat et Hoëdic : îles soeurs
– Concarneau ville de demain
– Les colos des petits bretons des terres et des mers
– Sarrasin, l’or noir de Bretagne
– Le canal de Nantes à Brest : Un trésor endormi

Sophie Jovillard, Tiga, Ismaël Khelifa et Jérôme Pitorin se relayent le samedi à 20h50 sur france5 pour vous faire découvrir des échappées aussi belles que lointaines.

[Music] Hello everyone, and thank you for being loyal to us. For being loyal to our beautiful escapes. This week, I have the pleasure of taking you to Brittany, a flagship destination if ever there was one for our French tourism. With its protected areas and its 1,000 km of cycle paths, Brittany is a destination that attracts more and more travelers in search of raw and wild nature. [Music] This territory has more and more inhabitants who are committed and innovating to protect it. I will therefore take advantage of my stay to try to understand how Brittany has established itself as a laboratory of ideas and projects preserving the environment, promoting green energy, in particular through what we call lotche. A concept that you will discover during my trip. So welcome here to the land of the Corigan and the Kunaman and welcome to my beautiful escapes. [Music] [Applause] In Brittany, we have oysters, but we also have ideas. The goal of this house is to see how we can live well while significantly reducing the impact of this lifestyle . If you cycle for 20 minutes, you’ll be able to recharge two phones to address climate and energy uncertainties. I’m more aware than I was six years ago of what’s happening on the planet, and unfortunately, it’s not all good news. Men and women are imagining our future. Living on KNS requires being self-sufficient in terms of water and electricity. Half of Wi Explore is made of plant fibers, flax fibers. Humans regenerate the nature around them. That’s what I call the beneficial impact. It means that where we live, everything is improved. And new ways of life. Today, we know that we’re going to run out of fresh water and protein. We need to develop alternative techniques that provide a solution to these major global challenges. For younger generations, this allows them to disconnect from screens, for example, for two weeks. There, we don’t have phones, we don’t have TVs, we don’t have screens, and we enjoy nature. Summer camp is made for having fun, for doing activities, for expressing ourselves. In inspiring settings, my grandmother used to ask me, “But do you still have Edic? What are you going to find in Edic?” Letting go of your watch, letting go of your car, that’s what I appreciate. In Brittany, a new energy. They come to dance to thank you for what you’re doing for the planet. Welcome to Brittany. Hi Étienne. Hello Jérôme, welcome to Brittany. Thank you so much for welcoming me here and especially for knowing that we’re a special place. Exactly. We’re in the commune of Le Conquet on the Kermorvent peninsula, and more precisely at the foot of the lighthouse. So we’re on the most westerly lighthouse of the continental lighthouses in France. Well, I’m especially impatient to go to your island, so to speak. So, I know it doesn’t belong to you. E.g., the island of Kemenes. Yes, we’re the tenants of the coastal conservation authority, but it’s true that we’re making it our own, as we ‘re the only inhabitants. Yes, that’s it. With your little family. Exactly. Now there are three of us, and we’re happy. How lucky. If you want, we can go see it from up there. [Music] We’re going to put a little oil on it, eh? Yes. Look at Freel’s lens. The invention is 200 years old next year. So it’s going to be a party in all the F of France and Navent. Certainly. Well, let’s look at this long-awaited view. We can see the tip of Corsen over there. a small sheltered beach and everything. It’s pretty. Yeah. The little islet with its fort. Yeah. And on the other side, where we have Le Conquet, the village with its very active fishing port. We could go for a little walk perhaps on the We’ll leave from there to reach Kemenes later. There’s another lighthouse up there. Exactly. Well, over there, it’s the Saint-Mthieu lighthouse with the semape and the abaye. And so if you align the Saint-Mthieu lighthouse with the Carmorvent lighthouse, in fact, that gives you the entrance to the Chellal du Four, which was a very important before. OK. Well then turn and then to the west due west then there we have an archipelago it’s the Molen archipelago. You have Kimenes which is right in the axis there. Okay. And so you see, we take this road there very often to reach our island. There today, the sea conditions are ideal but it’s not always the case. And sometimes we get really shaken up there between La Votière and Carmorvent. And look, there are even dolphins there in front of us. But no but yes look they are right there. Oh yes. Oh yes. It ‘s a place where they like because you have quite strong currents there in front of the lighthouse and they like to have fun in the current or Ah the jump! Yeah. Oh my! Well that’s a welcome he. You do things by pressing the button sir. to receive. [Music] This little town center is cute like that. It’s very very lively the idiot. But you see here, Jérôme, you can also find our products, for example, our potatoes and our onion and shallot confit. Oh, you do a bit of canning too. Exactly. And by the way, I didn’t ask you, but on your farm you mainly grow crops, you also do livestock. Yes, we mainly have vegetables, and then we have a flock of sheep that helps us maintain the island and keep the environment open, in fact, so that the brambles and vegetation don’t take over. There’s a bit of pleasure boating there too. Yes. And so over there, we have a lot of fishing boats. Here, it’s really a well-known fishing port. It’s an important fishing port. There are, I think, 23 fishing boats. And what’s stopping us here? Monkfish, shellfish, flatfish, lobster too. Great. Well, we’re going to go to sea. Absolutely. And we’re going to join and there and we’re going to look for where it works. Located 17 km off the Quibron peninsula, the island of Wat is a pebble barely 3 km² on which 200 inhabitants live year-round. But in the summer, the population swells to more than 3,000 thanks to the daily ferry shuttles from the mainland. Agnès, I’m going to leave for half an hour, I’ll be back. Are you all right? [ __ ] I’m fine. There you go, back to the scene of the crime. Back, I’m fine. Philippe Lefur, the village mayor, works every day to ensure that the peace and quiet of the Watet is not too disturbed by the influx of this population attracted by the calm of a car-free island. Uh, there will probably be some gatherings in the evening with young people in the fort, the old fort. Yes. Yes. But I’m authorizing it there now, so they don’t go to the port, and it’s better. They’re my summer reinforcements. We’re really happy to have them. Besides, the mayor isn’t just busy with tourism, he also has to take great care of the Watabs, who are mostly retired. There aren’t just tourists, there’s a social life, all retired, former fishermen for the most part. Because the main difficulty on Watabs Island is housing that would keep young people on the island. 65% of the homes are second homes. So, ultimately, there are very few year-round residents, right, that’s why. The young people who want to come back, obviously, they can’t build anymore because the land is way too expensive. Some would like to stay, but I don’t have housing to accommodate them. Well, it’s not possible. [Music] Hey, big guy. Well, if I know, it’s the idiot who told me to go today. Oh buddy, we’re already going home, you see, it’s OK. Well, see you later. It’s the uncle, he’s retired, right, the uncle there. But he’s continuing because he’d be bored on land at home. Who would be bored. Like every day, Fred, the captain of the Guanadu and his two sailors are fishing around the island. The three sailors were born in Wat, an island where the professional future of men seems to have been written for centuries. With that, you have 5 6. It was the only job there was on the island, it was fishing. Tourism is good also because we’ll say it does it, it keeps the island’s economy alive too, eh, because it brings people in both the shops and the rentals. In 1970, the port of Wat had 45 fishing boats. Today, there are only five left. But for how much longer? he wants to remain optimistic. There will always be one or two there. Nico is young, there’s Morvan who is behind who is also very young. So those, we’ll say, they will stay, what. [Music] 8 km further south of the island of Wat is its sister island Edic. [Music] Smaller and half as populated, Edck has also experienced this same transformation of its economy, moving from fishing to tourism. It must be said that these deserted coves bathed in translucent water inevitably seduce the visitor. And for some, Edic can even become an obsession. The first time I got to this must have been in 98, since then I’ve never missed a year. My grandmother asked me, “But are you still going to Edic? What are you going to find in Edic?” And it’s this meeting with friends, this simplicity, letting go of your watch, letting go of your car. That’s what I like. The people who come to Edic, it’s a mentality, it’s the campers, we all have a bit of the same spirit. And that makes for really, really strong friendships. Yan, Marianne, Renault, we hardly ever see each other during the year. We meet up and it’s a pleasure. [Music] Suric, the group of friends seems to have found the recipe for happiness. Sharing moments of simplicity and joy in dreamlike landscapes. If we had our swimsuits, we’d go swimming, Mimi. Yes. Yeah. It’s not very hot, but as we say, as we say back home, when you’re in it, it’s good. From this holiday friendship was born a musical adventure and a group, the nomads of the Lande. Invariably, each day ends with a song, most of which speaks of their love for Édic. This island treasure seems to have remained apart from the din of the world. Which I felt in my stone sliding down my ladder. Where everything begins and ends. [Music] [Music] Look, we’re expected. Ah, your little one, he’s all puffed up, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Hello Amélie. Hello Jérôme. Are we talking too loud, little Dor? Yes, Mature loves it. I kiss you. Good Jérôme, thank you. Oh little cork, he’s so handsome. Come on, let’s go cover your little paradise. And that’s the taxi. The electric taxi. Ah, are you the one driving with the Bah? I have a co-pilot. I love it. [Music] It’s wild. Yeah. We even have the sheep waiting for us. They’re a rustic Breton breed. So the winters on Kenes don’t scare them. OK. [Music] How big is Lille? Lille is 30 hectares. 30 hectares on which three of us live. That’s 10 hectares, reasonably speaking. Yes. And the first building we come to is the guest house. [Music] Thank you. Wow! It’s okay here. You’ll be staying alone, but normally, we can accommodate up to 10 people. There you go. Hm. Very good. The black stone room. When we arrived here, the initial intention was to do something sober. The show here isn’t inside, it’s outside. So, it ‘s comfortable and warm, that’s important of course, but there you go, simplicity and comfort. So, explain to me a little bit how you organize things here. So, I see that in terms of energy, I see a wind turbine for water as well. How does that work? Living on Keménes requires being self-sufficient in terms of water, in terms of electricity. So for water, we actually work with the recovery of other rains. We can also occasionally use well water. Ah, there’s a well here. This water, before reaching the taps in the buildings, goes through a filtration station. Okay. And this water doesn’t go through the toilets. It’s too precious. OK. So dry toilet. Dry toilet. Exactly. Okay. And how long have you been here every two? So, we arrived on the island in January 2018. What was the hardest thing about arriving here? It was changing your habits, I imagine, it was learning to prioritize things because there were so many things to do. We could have quickly gone crazy, in fact, and knowing how to anticipate. If you forgot your bar of butter on the mainland, well, you do this. [Music] Étienne is over here. That’s it. Ah, there you are. You’re arriving super well. That’s right, I’m going to prepare some potatoes for you and you have to put the funnel in the bag. We gave you a high-level position of responsibility. Yeah. Yeah, I saw that. Thank you. Thank you for your great trust. So the potato from the island of Kemenes is organic. Everything on the whole island is organic. Yeah. And there we go, we move on to the first floor, Matur. Come on, let’s go. So, that’s it. And you’re the one who pours. Exactly. And so we put 1.5 per bag and I receive it. Thank you. Be careful, you’re being watched. Ah has the right to smile, but yes, it’s because the pace is good. Ah , how long do you see yourself here? We signed for 9 years. Ah, you have if, uh, if we have the desire, if we also still agree with the conservatory, we can definitely extend. We have priority, by the way. How did you two meet? We were at engineering school in the Vauges in Épinal. Oh yes. So nothing to do with the seaside. That’s where a Breton met a northerner. It was a life change, certainly professional, but a life change in general. The first year we spent here was still a big year of testing everything on many, many levels. Well, we see that the test, eh, finally, the test is successful and very successful, eh. And so since you’ve been here, how many visitors have you received? It’s more than 200 people a year. These are people who have spent 3 days on KNS. Yeah. And it’s always 3 days. That’s the minimum, actually. Yes. To really soak up the place and live the KNS experience, if you just have a round trip in the day, you only get a small view of the place. Yeah, perfect. Okay, sir, you have free time. Oh, that’s cool. Thank you. I’m going for a walk on the island. There are two stone animals that you can meet. Stone animals. It’s up to you to tell us [Music] So, what variety of potato is it? It’s Alliance. The one we sorted earlier. There you go, my favorite. Very good. Let’s enjoy it. It’s very, very good. Okay, and these stone animals, Jéron? Ah yes, that’s true. So it was more in the order of the ménir, you could say that. So that, we can be on the horns of the snail as on the ears of the hare and the ears of the rabbit. Rabbit ears. Okay. And then, there is another shape. It looked like elephant ears. There is a given moment, the stone, it is split in the middle. It looks like it’s the trunk that falls off. Yeah, that’s it. And then an elephant on an island in Finister, it may seem Yeah. incongruous but it is there. Bravo. So usually, you have dinner with the others who are staying here each time. Absolutely. at lunchtime and in the evening, which allows you to see a few people. I find that we have a very rich life in fact on Kemenes. We still meet a lot of people and above all we have much deeper encounters than what we did before. It’s very interesting. We’ve met a lot more people, I think. I dare say it in 5 years than in our previous life. Yes. In the previous life. Absolutely. Afterwards, family remains less. That’s if there was one thing, that’s the distance from family. Afterwards, we don’t feel the rest. You’re supposed to be in your place here, actually. Yeah. I don’t know, I feel you’re very fulfilled, and it’s encouraging because to live as you do in this responsible and sustainable lifestyle, I find that admirable. So I want to have a great time and you have confirmed my convictions. In any case, that’s it. Thank you very much. Thank you, Jérôme, it’s a real pleasure. John Silver has taken command of the sailors and frozen the flesh. He holds his men like he holds the wind. Everyone is afraid of John Silver. [Music] On all the seas of the world, he is known by the nickname Bilou. Twice winner of the Route du Rome, 3rd in the Wind of the Globes, Roland Jourdin is a legend of ocean racing. Today, the sailor from Concarno is training his new boat. An 18.50 catamaran which at first glance is not very different from any other. Except that this one is largely made from a material that is unusual in shipbuilding. Half of Wi Explore is made of plant fibers, flax fiber. So everything above our heads, the entire deck of the boat, represents, in developed form, the equivalent of the surface area of ​​a tennis court. Everything under our feet, the internal structures, there is a one-hectare field of flax on the ground. So it’s starting to create a nice connection between land and sea. 15 years ago, Roland Jourdin created an incubator for positive-impact projects in Concarno. Thanks to him, many people were able to set up their own eco-responsible projects. To the point that this small town in Finistere quickly became a hotbed of experimentation around environmentally friendly technologies. I think we’ll start again from the beginning. Nicolas Voisard is developing a technology to recycle plastic waste from local businesses and transform it into panels that can be used to make furniture. We’re machining a chair. So it’s a prototype. We have a part that we need to correct. So now, we’re redoing it to try to validate it before production. While waiting for his company to be financially strong enough to set up its own premises, Nicolas is staying at Concarlab, a structure that offers him the lodging and access to the machines he needs. It’s a launching pad, for sure. And then the goal is also to leave room for other projects that can be incubated by Concarlab. Concarlab is what we call a digital fabrication laboratory, a place based on collaboration and mutual aid between members to design projects around eco-responsible technologies like this other innovation codenamed Cosmos. [Music] I’m the result of a collaboration between the geo-founders of Concarlab and the researchers of the IFE. I’m going down. The Cosmos is a camera designed to count marine species. It has multiple advantages. First, it’s easy to replicate and repair, inexpensive, but above all, it avoids the obsolescence of commercial cameras. We had difficulties because the cameras changed regularly. When a model changes, it can be the image that changes, but it’s also the size of the camera. So it no longer fits in the same housing. So it was really a problem of how to remanufacture it, a reasonable cost and also what allows it to be multiplied. [Music] Today, Concarno is celebrating. All the people in the region convinced that we can still act to heal our planet have gathered at the Lotch festival, literally the festival of basic technologies. Everyone here knows that the solutions exist and that even if it’s not the majority and dominant current, well it’s there, it’s ready and there’s nothing left to do but use them. As opposed to high-tech, the principles of the lotch aim to do better with less, whether for housing, travel or food, provided that it is sober in resources and energy, like this oven called Rocket St. The goal of the Rocket St game is to have a low consumption of wood and to burn both the wood and the smoke that escapes from it. So in fact, for example, we can look, there is no smoke escaping from the rocket except since everything is burned internally. This lotque festival was created to celebrate the return to Concarnau of the sea nomad. After 6 years of exploration aboard his catamaran, Corentin de Châtel Péron returns to the country rich in the multiple discoveries and lot solutions he was able to make all around the world to reconcile man and the planet. I am more aware than 6 years ago of what is happening on the planet and unfortunately it is not all good news. But on the other hand, I am more optimistic than at the beginning because I see how much it interests people, how seriously we are starting to take this poor management of the planet and especially how much potential there is to do something great with this planet in fact. This return to the port of the native son anchors Concarnau even more as the French experimental city at the beginning of the 21st century. [Music] [Music] It is forbidden to fish there, sir. Totally forbidden, eh. Hi Corentin. Hi Jérôme. I came across a poor family from Bernique. And you’re decimating this family? Yeah. She didn’t ask for anything. It’s your breakfast, actually, you, the bernique. H I love that Chinese hat. H Are you okay? Great. So, show me your tools. The screwdriver, the hammer, the wood chisel. I don’t know them, they’re the most useful. So you who make the lotque, finally, we’re really into the lotch also in fishing tools actually. And then when you live on a boat, you have to try, you see, there’s not room for a lot of stuff either. That’s for sure. And my nomadic life is going well. So, what have you already picked? Well, sea beans. I don’t know much about them, but hey, you can also eat them raw. Yeah. So the barnacles, I wanted to try cooking them in a solar oven. I saw that there were sea latitudes. If you want to try it too. Yeah, very good. Very good. And then, well, we’ll see what we find. Come on, well, everywhere in fishing then. [Music] Yeah, you have the tuu there. She’s pretty. I think you have to take them not too old so that she’s not too cori bernic. Come on, so you are, you grew up here in the region actually. I’m from Morbiillan Musillac. Ah okay. Not very far. Yeah, not very far from here. Not very far. Yeah. It’s and of all the coasts we saw around the world during my trip there. Yeah. Uh, I think it’s coasts like that that I prefer. If we want to experiment with cooking barnacles, I’d take a collection of barnacles. OK. Can I borrow a… I don’t know, maybe the drinking scissors because I’m curious to see and discover both your world of life but also everything you’ve created, everything you’ve brought back from your travels. You’ll see that there are quite a few things. Yeah. As much in access to water, energy, food, waste, well, there are lots of things. It’s a kind of Noah’s Ark but for the technologies. There you go. If that’s okay with you, we can go to Concarno using the GR. Ah because I have the impression that you’re uncomfortable with your boots. Don’t worry No but it’s a very nice path that joins the town. So it’s the GR34 here. Yeah. Yeah. The customs officers’ path. Yeah that’s it. [Music] Barant this fort it’s very small. That’s it. Yes, it’s true that it’s not very high. Budget problem or maybe it was to counter the attackers of the children’s children . You’ll see the one in Concarno is a little more imposing. This path is very wild, eh. It’s very long. It’s 2000 km I think, all the way around Brittany, but all the way around following the edge. Yeah, that’s it. Following the jagged coasts. You, this coastline because you were at the end of the world, is it a place you missed? Yeah, it’s true that I don’t really have a home . Yeah. Uh, because I’ve been living on the boat for years and when I come back here, I still feel a bit like I’m home. Yeah. To see the granite again. [Music] [Applause] So the walled city is on a nook and so we can access it by this bridge. So by the way, what period of the Middle Ages is this? Here it was built in the 13th or 14th century and so it was fortified because there were tensions with the English. It’s very pretty, isn’t it? Here we are, we’re not on a knight from that time. No. [Music] It’s funny because we have Celtic rotund sounds and we have the plute de pain too. This mix is ​​funny. Mixing instruments and continents from Latin America and Brittany. You, have you also been to Latin America? Yeah, we were in quite a few Central American countries. We went through the Panama Canal. Yeah, okay. Great. Oh yeah, with the boat. Yeah, great. [Music] How about a Conyaman? Oh, yes, yes. Do you feel ready? We’re never ready for a year. We know very well what the damage is, but I like it. Yeah, let’s go. Yeah. Come on. [Music] Hello. Hello Fred sir. Hello Fred. Hello. Hello Fred and Fred. That’s right. That’s it. Phare. It’s all there. Ah, it’s all there. Leamon. Ah, how do you say it? Queen K amon. Sorry because we often say Kman. Well yes, but it’s in French. Ah yes, don’t speak Breton for that, the Breton says Queen which is a caramelized flaky bread dough with butter and sugar. A little bit of butter, a little bit, a little bit, elbow grease and love of the job. Yeah, I want to get closer. Can I, can I look a little there? Yes, yes, yes. I like it so we don’t forget the main ingredient. How long does it cook? So about twenty minutes. Oh yeah, that’s not very long. Okay, now we should make a solar oven to cook this. That’s it. Okay, we’re not going to be tempted any longer. We’re going to succumb to temptation immediately. Come on, I’ll make you each a little piece. There you go, that’ll be a great start. Ah, it smells amazing. Do you like it? Well done, eh! And really, I think it’s the best I’ve ever tasted, and especially hot like that, I really don’t remember having that, and that’s it for you. Thank you. [Music] Okay, we’re going to go up to the ramparts because from up there we’ll have a view of the entire port. Perfect. So, oh yeah, so you have the fishing port, the marina on this side, but especially on the other side, and the red catamar. Yes, the beautiful boat over there, that’s the one I used to go around the world in search of Lotch innovations. Yeah. We’re going to sail a little anyway. Yeah. Yeah. I’m going to give you a demonstration of everything on board. Yeah, maybe make you eat a few things you won’t want to eat. You’re making me want to . And yes, we can sail a little. It works. Great. Come on, let’s go. [Music] And I get on my boat, I’ll break the helm. But the par , isn’t that girl beautiful, guys? [Music] In the vastness of the Gulf of Morbillant, four small dinghies are racing together. [Music] We’re not making too much progress, there’s not much wind, and it’s fine. On board, the Vanne Sea Scouts are heading for a new stage of their island-hopping camp. After a day of sailing, the flotilla docks on the island of Gobillan. [Music] Gives it some slack so that it goes down a little. Oh yeah, you blocked it, eh. The scouts, they don’t do nautical activities and we are lucky to have boats and to have diplomas to sail our young people. And where the land scouts will rather spend their summer camp in forests, making big installations, we will spend more time on the water swimming and boating. [Applause] About a hundred kilometers from the Gulf of Morbillant in MéC in inland Brittany. Come on ! Other little Bretons spend their holidays in a totally different environment. take my butt a totem a totem at the trappers’ camp in Bois du Bard, almost all communication is in Breton. There are many levels of Breton here. There are some who come from Diwan, so the schools are immersion in Breton, and there are some who, for example, only speak Breton at home and for school in French. So they all have a different level, and overall, they all understand Breton well. For a week, the children will not only live close to nature but also learn about group life. I love this kind of vacation. It’s fun since we cook at camp. It’s made for fun, for activities, for expressing ourselves. Would you like some bread with your cheese? Would you like to taste some eggplant cavière? Come on, please, taste it, Timothé made it, not from France, it’s the best vacation in the world. Yeah yeah, in the scouts, resourcefulness and community life are also fundamental. A good scooter is obviously putting up your tent. He knew when he didn’t know how to put up a tent at all , and now he’s starting to know how to put it up. [Music] The S allows you to disconnect from screens, for example, for weeks. Here, we don’t have a phone, we don’t have a TV, we don’t have a screen, and we enjoy nature. We cook, we do our laundry, we wash our clothes in the middle of the camp, we make a fire, we go fishing, we go boating. Whereas without the scouts, we wouldn’t have gone boating, it would be more autonomous. Yeah. A scooter to my right, a scooter to my left, everyone, enjoy your meal. A scooter to my right, a scooter to my left, everyone, enjoy your meal. But what would a summer camp be without watching over the fire? Among the little trappers, it’s obviously done in Breton. Agarpal and not amorine toodine and wool voiced to carpalfen and but that’s not it derpineo to treat that doesn’t mean anything there was always the word dansvat which means sheep but treat that doesn’t mean much. [Music] [Applause] [Music] The long tradition of scout vigils often begins with a game and invariably ends with a scout salute always. [Music] like a [Music] well here is our laboratory boat. You’ll see, it’s not a classic boat. Yeah. and Caroline is at salute. Hi Caroline. Nice to meet you. Welcome to the sea nomad. The sea nomad. Hop. It’s Caroline, teammate for 2 and a half years, designer batch specialized in mushrooms. It’s going to specialize in mushrooms. Yeah. Well, rather mushroom materials. Mushroom materials. To explain all that to me. Here is barnacle our miraculous catch. Quality barnacle. Yeah. from the Bern. Uh, the plan was to test it with a solar oven. I don’t know what you think. I’ve prepared a clean one for you. We’re going to put the berliques inside. That basically means you have a capsule in which you insert your food. Yeah, exactly. Baked. And you leave them in the morning and then it cooks. It’s a bit like cooking for lazy people. You cook in the morning, you chop your vegetables and you go to work at noon, you have the meal ready. Excellent. And so what temperature can it go up to? Up to 200°. Oh yeah, really? Yeah. So it’s a double wall with a vacuum between the two, like a thermos. And so we made a reflector so that the sun’s rays converge on this tube and heat up just about anything. So you told me when I arrived that it was a laboratory boat. Your boat is a place where you do research, you do experiments. We spent six years around the world with one fixed idea: to find all the best inventions that are ecological, accessible to all, and that meet basic needs. So there are some on access to water, energy, food, and so on. And in each of the 25 countries where we stopped , we met entrepreneurs, associations, organizations, individuals who were inventing things that could be useful to other people around the world. We tested them on board the boat, that’s why it’s a laboratory. We documented them and we’re trying to share them with the whole world so that people can replicate them and so that all these good ideas travel everywhere. And so, we do a lot of tutorials, writing and videos to make all these inventions accessible to everyone, in fact. And so, we’re going to sail and it’s going to stay like this here. Well, here we go. To the Glenon. Ah, you’re taking me to the Glenon. Yeah. A great archipelago that’s just a few kilometers from here. [Music] It’s cool. There’s the It’s called the Corentin. It’s an old rigging there that does tours with tourists around. Ah, the black one there. Yeah. What do you call it? The Corentin! Yeah, that’s it. It’s good. It’s going well. It’s one of [Music] Mademoiselle Carot. Let’s go. Let’s go. From behind. [Music] And your sails are recycled boilers. Uh yeah, they’ve had several lives. This one, it did a RH route. Oh yeah yeah. And as a spare sail and it became our sail. But the poor thing Yeah, it’s not made for long haul flights. Yeah, that’s it. And besides, it allows you to turn off the engine. Yeah. Ah, our last fill-up, we did it in New York more than 3 months ago and since then, in fact, we’ve only used a few liters of diesel even though we’ve traveled thousands of kilometers. And that’s our lotch philosophy of using the wind. Uh the rain, the sun, the resources, the natural resources that are available. This wind turbine, we documented that in Dakar, Senegal. It’s made with recycled printer motors. You know, photocopiers, printers have little motors inside to advance the sheets or the print head and when the machine breaks down, it’s generally thrown away and these motors work. So we salvage them, we attach blades to the rotor and then in the wind, the rotor turns, it generates electricity and we can recharge batteries like that. H you tell me if it’s I’m talking nonsense but I think I see a pedal there with a chain. That’s when there’s no wind and no sun. It’s actually our fitness club on board. I invite you to sit there. Yeah. So I’m going to recharge it, it’s a car battery. It’s a car battery that we salvaged of course. And in fact when you pedal, you’re going to generate electricity. It’s awesome, in fact, it’s super comfortable. There you go. So here you’re supplying 2 or 3 amps. If you pedal for 20 minutes, you’ll be able to recharge two phones. You can lower the sails. Hey, that’s good. You control the boat’s speed. Wait, I have two or three phones to recharge. [Music] What I find great is that you’re tending towards total autonomy in your way of living on the boat. Whether it’s energy or food. I imagine you recycle a lot of things too. So, earlier you were explaining to me that you were working with mushrooms. So what does that mean? So, I’m going to show you, uh, some samples. You’ll understand better. So, haha, that’s it. Yes, in fact, the mushrooms that we eat are the fruit of a whole network of roots, if you like. Uh, in fact, what we do is, after harvesting, we’re left with this whole block, all this cellulose material. We can have straw, straw, or anything. That is, mushrooms grow on straw or straw. On straw, for example. Okay. OK. And then we’re going to compress the material to make insulation. And it’s an organic product, actually. That’s it. It’s made from agricultural products. It’s not like petroleum-based plastic. Exactly. That’s great, captain. Yeah. Where are the barnacles? They’re cooked. It’ll be ready soon, sailor. [Music] Oh, great! [Music] They’re coming to dance to thank you for what you’re doing for the planet. It motivates you to change your lifestyle. Yeah, there! What a gift! What a gift! [Music] So, where do we stop? We’re going to the beach. No. Oh yeah, I didn’t think. So this is the Glenon archipelago. Now, which island are we on here? The island of Pfra. And how many islands are there in total in the archipelago? There are four main islands and then there are lots and lots of little islands. I didn’t think the sechelles were so close to Brittany [Music] with this granite and these shades of blue and green, it’s really sublime here. No. Then there are the bernquill. This is the first time I’ve taken an oven to a beach actually. So what’s it like? Ah, it tastes good. Ah yeah. Ah, I love it. H, you know what it is? A mussel taste. Yeah, definitely. It looks like a mussel, but really. And how one day we get up in the morning and we say to ourselves, hey, I’m going to travel the world, I’m going to see innovations, I’m going to take a boat, I’m going to completely change my life. I think we’re really the generations that have to reinvent our ways of living on the planet. We have to change our way of life, we know that, with global warming, biodiversity collapsing and so on. And for me, it’s always been a quest, a challenge in fact that I found extremely interesting. I told myself the role of an engineer is to find solutions that respond to society’s problems. And for me, the biggest problem facing society today is that. It’s the biggest challenge it is. And thinking about what way of life we ​​will have in the future, I find that fascinating. I wanted to congratulate you, to tell you that I really admired what you do. Really, sincerely, I think that the new generation, the youngest, have a lot to learn from all that you have accumulated in terms of knowledge and experience. Well, thank you, we were happy to show you our future. Yes, the future itself, we can say. I hope so. You took a trip back in time. Exactly. I’ll have to go back in time. That’s what you’re telling me. Cheers. Feel for your success because I still think that everything you have accomplished is a great success. Thank you. [Music] This is the story of an emblematic seed of Brittany, buckwheat. Brought back from the Crusades, this plant has flourished on the granite lands of Brittany since the 13th century. In France, buckwheat is more commonly called buckwheat. Although this plant is not a cereal. Buckwheat is part of the polygonaceous family, like rhubarb or sorrel. That’s why, you see, it’s starting to take on its red color at the stem. At the end of maturity, you’ll see the stem is all red. We’re starting to see the first seeds starting to form. They’re all there, you see all the green ones there. All of that is just seeds arriving. Serena Fortin is one of the few hundred farmers who wanted to restore the nobility of their Breton black buckwheat. Indeed, at the beginning of the 70s, buckwheat had almost disappeared from Brittany, a victim of the European common agricultural policy which encouraged farmers to produce cereals for animal feed. I find it a source of pride to say to myself, well, I’m growing black buckwheat that will be eaten to make pancakes, precisely to awaken people’s taste buds. Harvested in the fall, this organic buckwheat made in embers can then begin its processing in one of the Breton mills. So there, you see, I have the black gold of Brittany, a PGI wheat, so we say protected geographical indication. And we can see clearly, you see that it is a clear, there is a clear difference between this Breton grain and this so-called imported grain which is much larger. This Breton grain will give us a beautiful, very spicy, very tasty flour, while this slightly larger grain will give us a lot of hull and a very, very white flour. Ground ever finer between the mill’s cylinders, the blénoir reveals a flour of extreme finesse that is just waiting to be delivered throughout Brittany. [Music] Are you okay? How’s it going? We still have what it takes to make crepes . There, it’s perfect. We have about 28,300,000 crepes there. Come on, let’s go. Michel Bray is getting ready to embark on a marathon that very few would be capable of tackling. For 3 days, he will have to prepare tons of crepe batter for the big annual Gourin festival. Because for 30 years, this commune in the dreary north has become the world capital of the Breton crepe for a weekend . We’re going to Marcel. [Music] And to delight the thousands of expected visitors, Michel absolutely has to get his gourine-style batter recipe right. Yes. So, oh well yes, but that’s what we put in our blénoir, we put buckwheat, wheat, milk and eggs. Which gives you something fabulous. Show how we know when it’s good. It makes strings. It has to make strings. Do you have everyone waiting? The finest creperies and crepieders of gourin can now enter the scene like an army lined up in battle order behind a battery of Bilic to feed a hungry crowd. Even the elected officials are helping out. It’s going to be a marathon of several hours and we’re not going to count the extra hours. So here it’s a complete scrambled egg. So we’re going to break the egg. We can cook it several times depending on demand. And if you want a very, very digestible crepe, you make it called crase. That is to say, it’s a little brittle at the edge. And otherwise, you have the normal crepe. We’re going to make it like this one. And faced with a host of connoisseurs like the Bretons, there’s no way you’re going to mess up. It’s very good, it’s well cooked, it’s golden, which is important. And then there’s good ham and good cheese inside. And it’s very good. If the Gourin crepe festival is also an opportunity to admire the performances of the best Breton musical groups. The most anticipated moment is undoubtedly the world competition for the largest crepe. We encourage you, go on. You can fill it up. [Applause] Send it all. Send all your batter. All of it. On a 1.08 griddle specially made for the occasion, the competitors must make the largest, most regular crepe, without holes or bumps. Come on, Sandrine, supporters, we’re cheering her on. [Applause] 74. Bravo! And the exercise is far from easy. [Applause] That’s it. You shouldn’t do that in vain. No, he ironed the crepe. Never ironed it. At 76 cm, Mélanie’s crepe was judged the most beautiful but is still far from the record set in 2006 with 96 cm. Yeah, but she had a lot of supporters, that helps, right? And the Chadogs were pumping, pumping, they hadn’t finished pumping. Hi Patricia. Hello Jérôme, how are you? Oh well, I’m doing great. Yeah, yeah. Ready to go cycling? Yeah. To go hiking with racing bikes, no less. Oh well, watch out. I’ve already seen a little bit of the canal there. That’s where we’re going. That’s where we’re going. And we’re going to go even a little further. OK. We’re going 20 km downstream towards Redon and then we’re going to go up towards Pontie. Okay, you’re in your kit, uh, well, you’re a bit of an experienced cyclist. Yeah. A little bit. You were a champion, weren’t you? Yes. Brittany Kiss Country Champion. It’s a mix in the woods. We’ve kind of taken everything apart from the downhills and I was also a Brittany champion in mountain biking. Downhill. Okay. Ah downhill yeah downhill yeah. Ah yeah I’m not cut out for climbing. I’m going downhill. Yeah but today it’s going to be cool. Yeah. It’s going to be more flat. Are the bikes ready? Yeah, I’ve put on my shorts, my jersey and well, the perfect cyclist. [Music] It’s super cute there. I love it. There, we’re at Lilopi like a magpie. Like a magpie. And there, it’s a natural site where you can go climbing. Which branch of the river is it, actually? There, there’s the Oust. The Oust? Yes, the Ouust and Houust. Come on, faster and we’ll arrive at another place a little further on where we’ll have the separation. Lousse will go off to the left and we’ll have the f. Lif, it’s the little river that goes to the Gassini. It’s several arms that form the Nantabress canal in fact. And the fiss rather on the flat then? The flat f. Yeah. Yeah. The f on the flat. No, you didn’t have that one. You didn’t have it. You didn’t have it Patricia. You didn’t have that one? [Music] On the other hand, didn’t you see, was there someone who gave you a sign earlier? Oh no no, I didn’t see. There were two signs. Oh, if you get going. Oh yeah, there, this section is really nice again. In the shade, I’m having a great time. [Music] You, you’re from around here then? Yes, I’m from Saint-Congard. And how old were you when you started cycling? Well, cycling in our family at 3 years old, 3 or 4 years old, you ride in the family, you mean? That’s it. Competitively at 5. Oh yeah. So it was written that you were going to win titles. Oh, winning, I don’t know, but cycling. Yes. Cycling for you is every day. It’s essential. It’s vital, as some would say. It’s a drug. You have to clear your head, actually. Yeah. His picnic. Bon appétit. Bon appétit. Come on. Ah, we’re changing route, we’re changing banks. Say, a nice lock there. Well, there, you’re going to have 12 to follow. How many? 12. But no. If you’re right there at the precinct, eh. You’re right there. They’re impeccable. [Music] And when was the canal dug? In 1811, to counter the English who had blocked the port of Brest, meaning that goods could no longer pass through the Atlantic. Okay. So Napoleon decided to do something to transport goods through inland Brittany. Have you ever sailed on the canal ? Never. Never this entrance? No, I don’t think so. Oh yes, that’s true. Oh yeah. No, it’s not going fast enough. It went by fast. I’m finding you there. So, put us in the final. We’re going to Louanique Park. It’s a Breton playground located on the edge of the Nantabresque Canal at a lock. Okay. Yeah. Now you’re intriguing me. Ah, lo and there, Jérôme, we’re going to find my sisters. Ah, your family is here. Great! [Music] Oh là là! It’s playing, it’s playing. Hello! Hello my two sisters. They’re Patricia’s sisters, the sisters, Jérôme, Manuela, Manuel, and Gwen. Gwen, that’s a good fit. Yes, absolutely. So, who’s the eldest of the three of you? The eldest is Gwen. Okay. Okay. Who also rides a bike. And then Manuela, she’s the French champion, European champion, and world champion in cyclocross. But no, respect. What year was that? So, French champion and world champion, that was in 2017. Yeah, that’s not very long ago. And European champion in 2018. Can I continue to use the familiar form with you? Absolutely. I hope you’re not as good at the Breton game as you are on a bike? No, no, it’s going very well. So that’s the boulen. So there, you have to knock out the middle ball by throwing the spoon and if you throw well, you can knock out the other two balls next to it, you know. There you go. Oh là là! [Music] Oh là là là! [Music] Oh yeah, unnerved in fact. [Music] Ah! Oh fuck! And there the slap on bill. Come on, slap a little there. Or there there, disaster. I didn’t slap much. If I may say so. Finish on bio. Yeah. Ah, you girls are too strong, eh, honestly. Well, Jerome, now we’re going to do a bag throw. Well, since it’s Patricia who’s playing, we’re going to immediately set up the rope. There, we know that she has superhuman strength. Watch out, kids. Patricia, watch out. Move over, Jerome, because [Music] Patricia is on that side. And we’re here. So now. OK, I get it, I get it. Are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. [Applause] It’s a great day. Really, we were spoiled, huh. And happy to have met you, the family and the champions. So, let’s not hold a grudge. No, no, no, that’s it. Equality. Anyway, it was great. Come on, thank you very much. Hi, [Music] Christian, have a coffee. Jean-Louis, have a coffee. Aboard his Rosilie, Yannick claims to be a true barge dweller. The one who sailed on the scene for a long time got it into his head one day to bring river navigation back to central Brittany, where it had completely disappeared. I’m a freshwater sailor and the birth of children made me want to leave the Paris region to come back to my native land. And then, nostalgia being, I became interested in the Nant-Abrest canal, I realized that there wasn’t a boat and my hobby horse was to say first of all it’s magnificent if we want to develop navigation, we must bring back the identifying tool and the identifying tool is the barge. [Music] You have some margin on the left. You can 5 on the left. Here we go. We store our bikes rationally. And to prove that navigating the canal still has its raison d’être, in 2017, Yannick and a few enthusiasts created the Slate Route. A week-long navigation open to all types of boat in the wake of the barges once used for transporting slate. It’s literally the backbone, you could even say, of Brittany, and it’s truly our little jewel. We say it’s our very own Champélysée. Our biggest fear was that it would be abandoned. We wanted to demonstrate that, well, it was still navigable. [Music] Completed in 1842, the 364 km and 238 locks of the Nant-Brest canal would see generations of boatmen pass through. But the construction of a hydroelectric dam and the advent of road transport would signal the end of river transport in Brittany. Claude Rabet was one of the last professional boatmen. [Music] Be careful, it stings. There were a lot of boats in all with the wooden boats. I think there were more than 800 boats at the time. I closed canal 69. At the end of the day, we did more than sand. Otherwise, we made coal, paper pulp, gravel, pebbles, all sorts of things. I made the last paper boat trip and after that there was no more sailing. Marin’s life is a passion and as soon as we’re no longer on a boat, we have a malop. The old boatman hopes that a new generation will soon arrive. No playing. Well, [Music] for the on-boards, we have two. Like Noah, who, at the height of his 8 years, already shows a certain self-confidence when it comes to leading the crew of the Pen Blaise, a 6.80 typical of the Quimpère region. In time with the stroke leaders, you have to be careful not to step on the other boats. the and my surroundings and stay on course too. It was my grandpa Claude who taught me how to steer. I’m a former merchant marine with a passion for seamanship and old gr, let’s say. And so, my grandson, I’m lucky enough to have him around quite often, and so I try to pass on to him a taste for navigation, seamanship, and then to learn how to steer, something he does very well, the proof is that the crew is reassured. Lock! Bring in the oars and take out the parbattes. [Music] There you go. And there, did you see the number there are at the lock there? And there were old people at the locks who had the alarm in their eyes, saying they thought we’d never see any more. But yeah, there’s a wait. [Music] The success of this slate route with the public has proven that there is a place for river tourism in central Brittany. [Music] I would really like us to finish the plastering this morning. and for the exterior to be as finished as possible because that way it doesn’t get damp in the winter if we’re not completely finished and you’re doing that really well. So go ahead. [Music] Hi Eveline, I’m nice to meet you. Glad you’re explaining to me a little bit about what you do here. So we had some interns who were in training, right? We 20 trainees who are in full training for 3 weeks to learn how to make, build, let’s say, build their house. It’s terterre what you call the carter, is that it? So it’s a Breton word and terre a French word like that I put them together it makes chez la terre, the house of the earth. The house the c huh. Okay then you’re going to explain to me, show me this whole universe that you created. It’s clear. No it’s c’est terre. [Music] You wanted to keep this wild side he I see huh. That’s it. Yes, it’s what I call the jungle garden sometimes. Here’s Grandma Carter. Ah, hello Grandma. Well, she’s she’s rather solid. There you go, a first carter. So she’s been there for 25 years. The door, it’s incredible, huh. Yes. Magnificent. Door sculpted from one so close uh taken on site. Well, the idea wasn’t to live in it, it was to experiment, to see how it worked, and so it was just a little cabin for the children of Okay. But is it habitable in theory? Not really. Yes, we could sleep like in a tent. Forment, is it a tent or a mémée? A mémante carter. In any case, you wanted to be sahetistical, you tried to give it shapes. Yes. The basic idea too is that the habitat is a sculpture as well as a house. And what training do you have to be able to devote yourself to that? I was very interested in art and architecture, but I was a piano teacher at the beginning. Artistic nonetheless. Still artistic. A means of expression. It was after making that one that I realized all the possibilities of actually making houses because I saw how simple it was to implement, and so I made another one, then another one, then another one, and then I started teaching courses to lots of people, and I gave up my piano lessons over time. [Music] There you go, that one is the one that was made after the same one. So it’s one of the oldest, and you can really feel the solidity. Oh yeah, okay. This chimney is shaped like a tree trunk. That’s it. Yes, it’s the chimney sculpted from the clay here. To get the clay, I dug deep pits, and that created a biotope. So it gives rise to frogs, dragonflies, amphibians. And that was the principle of your approach at the start, not to impact the environment. On the contrary, to make humans regenerate the nature around them. That’s it. That’s what I call the beneficial impact. Enhanced. Enhanced, that means that where we live, uh, everything is improved. [Music] That’s the dry toilets. Ah yes, it smells good. That’s it. The goal is for it to look very good and be very aesthetic. And those are the real flowers. It’s not this It’s not a is okay. So here’s the big casing. Ah yeah. Which really shows that we can make completely new habitats. Ah yes, here we can live daily there. Comfortable, warm. So, here’s the living room. Ah yeah. And everything communicates. Each dome is a room. And you can multiply the number of rooms like that in the end. That’s the idea. So we can make a castle carter, that is to say you can make the bedroom, the living room, the office. [Music] We really feel immersed in this nature. That’s it and being part of it. Yeah. Yeah. And this sensitivity to nature, to plants, where does it come from? When? From always believe. Yeah, but I was born in Paris and I wasn’t really connected with nature and then little by little, I went further and further. [Music] Ah yes, it’s asserting itself. Oh there, everyone’s building site. The same building site there. [Music] These are what you call the wicks that we prepared. They could be mine, in fact, in this case, the color looks good. It’s the bedroom that we’re going to soak in the heat and the sand that was mixed with water. So you build the wall gradually measure like that. That’s it. But in a circle. So you had to know that the heat and that the field could become just as rigid. I didn’t know that, but while doing it, I understood that it works. It’s funny to have had that instinct. Yes, that’s it. You can grab a strand that’s been prepared. There you go. A strand. You can see how solid it is. Go ahead, you can try to break it, you’ll never succeed. You spread it like this and you’re going to put material on it like this. OK. There you go. All the way. There you go. Perfect. All that’s left is to put it down. [Music] So there, hop, you try to stick the first strand. There you go, that’s good. That’s good how you did it. Yop. You see, you put your hand underneath. There you go, you’ve put it down very well. Bravo. There you go, first strand. First strand. [Music] So you, how long have you been in training? Well, this is the 3rd week. Oh yeah? Yeah. So, you arrived, it wasn’t there was nothing, there’s the ground. Okay. So why did you decide to do this training? Because I have a project with my partner to build our house like this entirely, the house where and so he will live I imagine in the long term. Yes, he will be living there. Yeah. Long term. OK. And then we will start our construction right after in fact. We continue. OK. I mean you will still be warm. We will be warm. You can rub the mache my wick my wick wick it’s soft. I have to put some gel. There you go, you have to rub. In any case, I find it really interesting in your training. In addition to learning techniques, it’s being able to mix different people from different backgrounds. The joy of creating together is really something we’ve lost a little. That’s what we find in Carter workshops. Yes, and I think it’s inspiring that people want to reconnect, to come back and live in nature. Going towards nature but without going into a retreat and really going towards this luxurious, uplifting side. Uplifting, I’ll remember that from you. Luxurious uplifting, let’s say. Thank you in any case for opening the doors of your place to me and I hope it will develop and be emulated. Yeah, well done. It’s a great concept. We have the Norwegian pot, so a sort of big thermos. It’s insulated here. It’s insulated. It’s insulated all around. Yeah. Always, ah, cork and all that. Among all the innovations presented at the Concarneau Lotèch festival, the undisputed star is this one. A tiny house, a small house on wheels that’s totally energy-independent. The goal of this house is to see how we can live well with a high quality of life while reducing the impact of this lifestyle. So it’s a small house with a lot of openings to the south, well insulated, and that alone does a lot of the work to complete. We have solar heating in front, and when there’s no sun, we have this hair that takes over. [Music] Appearing in the early 2000s to respond to the housing crisis that was worsening in the United States, tiny houses have now crossed the Atlantic and are attracting more and more people. Oh yeah, because you have to fix yourself, you have to make the partition. Yeah, that’s it. That’s why I wanted to make the floor. Yeah. [Music] A few kilometers from Quimpère, Jean-Daniel Blanchet’s company has already built more than 60 houses of this type, and the order book doesn’t increase them. It must be said that Jean-Daniel’s Tiny Houses have something to seduce in these times when housing prices and energy costs continue to rise. As a result, it’s still a very resilient habitat, therefore with little impact. There are no foundations, it’s just as easily movable. So, uh, while having the comfort of a conventional house. So, it’s also interesting for people who may have slightly lower incomes to have a comfortable home anyway. To afford this mobile micro house, You have to count between 60 and 85000 € depending on the level of equipment. But you can also rent one for the holidays like Elliot and Géan, excited about their stay in total autonomy. Is everything going well? It’s going very very well, very easy to use too which is the advantage because the idea of ​​being autonomous can be a little scary especially since we don’t know anything about how solar panels work and so it was easy to use. This house is not connected to any network, the young couple had to learn to manage their consumption. What I preferred is that I turn it on all the time. I wake up in the morning, I come to check where we are and so on. And it’s true that it’s really well done to know both how much we charge, how much we spend. So over here, we can monitor the water consumption with the tank that we can see directly there. So when we arrived on Monday, the water was finally the tank was almost full here. And so after 3 or 4 days, we’ve consumed about 150 L of water. Apparently, 150 L of water is what we consume per day per person in France. Yeah. Approximately. There you go. [Music] In France, the development of autonomous housing is only at these cement dances and doesn’t only concern tiny houses. In this small port in the Côtes d’Armor, on the Granitrose coast, a strange floating saucer that looks like it came straight out of a science fiction film has taken up residence among the sailboats. So, can you open the curtain? I’m going up to open the parasol. Okay. It all starts with a James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, where at the end of the film, you know, he’s in an underwater city and he escapes in a kind of capsule before the underwater city is destroyed. The capsule in the film has roughly this shape, but it’s much smaller, and our naval designer partner wanted to design the same thing but much larger to make a real floating apartment. Thus was born Antena, a 50 m² suite meeting the standards of the finest luxury hotels. But this suite is not just a simple floating hotel room. It hides within it a concentration of technological innovation to make it completely autonomous in electricity, drinking water production, and wastewater treatment. So, we are in front of the Antenna technical block, in which we have all the electrical controls, we have the gray water treatment system, and for the black water treatment, these are electrolysis systems that allow us to only discharge clean water. [Music] After 7 years of research and development to achieve this prototype, the first commercialized model will soon leave the brand-new factory in L’Agnon. And the whole team is attentive to the smallest details. If you sand the underside, I think you’ll earn a little. No, it’s number 1, it’s the one going to Qatar and which will obviously be watched by the whole world. So the appearance has to be absolutely perfect, as perfect as possible. [Music] To afford this luxurious, 100% autonomous flying saucer made in Brittany, you’ll still have to pay the sum of €500,000. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Hello. Hello. And hello Jérôme. It’s Mario Gabriel, I’m coming. Oh yes, just in time. Me, who loves oysters because I also love spirulina. Ah, well, my nickname given to me by my son is Mrs. Spirulina. [Music] It’s a real lab, right? Not film bodies. So explain to me a little bit about this Professor Spiru’s laboratory. What is Spirula originally ? Is it a plant? What is it actually? It’s a cananobacterium at the origin of the world. Why do we call it spirulina? Because in fact, it has a blue pigment which is the scientific blue color if we see it well. Yes, but it is precisely it is in it. Okay. Its predominant is chlorophyll. That’s why it’s green. And The particularity here is the seawater which is our culture medium. OK. Because it can be done in 99% fresh water. It’s done with re-salted fresh water. [Music] So that’s your filter which is like a coffee filter even more. Oh yes, it’s 30 microns. So you see, it’s really very very fine. OK. and the famous spirulina will be retained and I get a fresh spirulina paste. It’s the famous marine green gold. Marine green gold. So you see I had already had the opportunity to take spirulina because I was told it’s good for the health, it’s full of virtues that you’re going to explain to me. So for me it was in small flakes in fact so I ate that it wasn’t very good but you have a small glass of fruit juice after and and there it is it will be even more concentrated like that. So it’s concentrated but it’s yodic. We’re dealing with two different products. One is re-salted fresh water, and with that, they make tablets and capsules, but it still has a slight taste. In fresh paste from the sea, it has an incomparable yodic taste because the other spirulina I was taking wasn’t made with sea water. No, it’s re-salted fresh water. It was very good at first because it was to alleviate malnutrition, and in some villages, it was n’t near the sea. However, today, we know that we’re going to run out of fresh water and protein. We need to develop alternative techniques that don’t impact the environment. Yeah. Don’t impact biodiversity and therefore provide a solution to these major global issues. Well, I mean, that creates a challenge for you. Ah, that’s clear. Y, can you bring us the oysters and the green caviar, please? Oh, Yan is my fourth child. Hi. Born in Breton terms. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. So that was also based on spirulina. Exactly. Marine plant caviar. There you have the sea moving fully. Yeah, it’s very, it’s not bad, eh. By the way, don’t you want to talk about the properties of spirulina? It’s full of iron, full of beta-rotene, it boosts the body, it boosts the immune system, and more than 50% of its weight is protein, excellent quality protein, perfectly metabolized by humans. And it’s far beyond soy and far beyond any meat. Yes, since we’re asking to eat less meat because it obviously creates pollution, water consumption to make meat, and the insect alternative is the one that’s being proposed for the moment. So that could be another alternative for getting concentrated protein. Absolutely . Bravo. I’m delighted to discover that actually. Well, the only thing is that our tongues are a little green just long enough to eat, eh. It disappears very, very quickly. Well, now Jérôme, we’re going to go in a van to deliver a chocolatier friend, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, an ice cream maker, and we’re going to take the opportunity to take a little tour of the van. Let’s go. Come on. Yeah, V. I’d like to see this city because I know it’s magnificent. At least when we watch your car go by, we know what you’re doing. Hop, let’s go. Let’s go. Well done. Ah, electric car, I’m not surprised by you. [Music] Very pretty French garden there, very flowery. It’s full of colors with a small stream. What is this big building in front of us? It’s the Château de l’Hermine, which owes its name to the emblem of Vannes. It was the animal, the ermine. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. OK. [Music] Here’s our famous Saint-Pierre cathedral. So, it’s a cathedral that was built in the 15th century with two architectures that are really different because that’s Romanesque. No. Well, yes, absolutely. But on your right, you’ll see that it’s rather Gothic. And lots of gargoyles. Or gargoyles everywhere. Yeah. And then obviously, well, Saint-Vincent and not Saint-Pierre. Ah yes, logic is very good. Yes, yes, it’s true that we don’t think about that enough. These little alleys have a lot of charm, though. So here we come across a sculpture of Van and his wife. It’s really very emblematic. Van and his wife is a sculpture that was erected, but we don’t really know the date and especially the reason why it was made. Several anecdotes circulate, each to their own story. There is no official version yet. Okay. Everyone has their own story. [Music] Hello. And hello. Hello Alain. How are you? Good, good. In shape. Jérôme, nice to meet you. Welcome, Brittany. Thank you. So Alain, I brought you the spirulina you ordered. Perfect. How do you work it? We’re going to work it with sugar, with chocolate, and ice cream. Here, peas. Peas. So our little balls are cereals, we coated them in white chocolate. So this white chocolate, we mixed it, ground it with dried spirulina, hence the color, which gives us a natural coloring, obviously. And so the latest creation is our vanilla spirulina ice cream. There you go, we’re going to taste it. Mine is good , and there’s an exceptional vanilla flavor. Some people innovate, and that’s great because it makes the product known as something other than a food supplement. We make it a pleasure product. Very good. Well, if that’s okay with you, I’ll offer you a scoop of spirulina in a small cone, and we’ll leave with it to enjoy these days on the pork. Why not? [Music] Thank you very much. There are people. We’re not the only ones who appreciate ice cream. Well, I really enjoyed discovering spirulina in almost all its forms. It was very interesting and above all I realize that there are plenty of people who still have a lot of initiatives to try to do things differently and with healthy products, especially spirulina. Thank you for that. Thank you. You finished before me. [Music] Well, there you have it, my trip is over. I wanted a big breath of fresh air and diodes before leaving Brittany. So, I wanted to thank those who accompanied me, whether it was Étienne and Amélie on their island or Corentin and Caroline on their boat with all their little inventions that they make available. I found them particularly inspiring and I really admire their choice of life. A little hello also to Patricia, Eveline and Marie-Gabrielle. I’ll see you very soon for new beautiful escapes to other faraway lands. You can watch this show replay, follow the behind the scenes of our filming on social networks and then I’ll see you very soon, see you very soon and Kenavo.
