As far as the Breton custom of kissing each other on the cheeks upon meeting (se faire la bise) is concerned, I realized that Guimiliau is the place where the numbers of kisses to exchange varies the most and the most often. It may share this "record" only with Plestin-les-Grèves. From what I observed, I drew the conclusion that one kiss is the most common option, but three or four kisses are not rare, either; instead, two kisses seem to be the most unusual choice.
