The name of the shop makes it clear that is has something with Ireland, see the Shamrock!
And yes: they doo sell the finest Beers from Ireland and Bretagne, Whiskeys and more...
It is an independent shop which also sells food, presents, books, stationary, CDs and even more!
They do warn their customers not to drink too mych alcool because that surely will damage their healths because it is dangerous.
I take it for granted that you never drink-drive!
What to buy: Whatever appeals to you and what you can pay for and who the lucky one is whom you are going to surprise....
What to pay: oh, just pay for whatever you bought...

Something ABOUT L'HISTOIRE DE LIN.
Linen is a natural material of which the history goes back to the Stone Age.
Grown in the farmers' own fields, water-ret in the nearby brook/stream it then is made glossy and flat at home.
For a very long time it has been an important part of the Breton family customs, taught by mothers to daughters.....
The Area Le Tr?gor has the ideal climate to grow linen.....
This industry of linnen fabric in the West knew its height in the 17th and 18th Century.
The fabric was processed at Saint-Brieuc, Quintin, Moncontour, Uzel, Loud?ac and in Pontivy and Josselin.
The 14th of August 1676, there came important new Rules which gave the linen from the West its quality mark.
Les Bretagnes became the best-known region for Linen in France and it was exported to other parts of France and to Saint-Malo or Nantes to Spain and from there to THE NEW WORLD as America was called at that time!
What to buy: whatever you can pay for and take into consideration when you will be back here again......
What to pay: just pay for what you buy!

Have fun there....

At this place the air will make you feel drowsy, even before the first taste of the wine..
But here they have a selection of wines from the small vineyards.
The quality is excellent, you can talk with an expert who can advise you and who will tell you everything he know about wine and that is quite a lot.....
You can take whatever you buy home yourself or...have it delivered by the firm!
What to buy: In very small print there is: drinking too much alcool can damage your health so just drink with care....
Of course you buy what tasted best!
If you are interested: there are also books and booklets about wine.......
What to pay: and pay for it....

Sp?cialiste de CUIR. (leather)
Maroquinier et bagagiste. (+suitcases etc.)
A MAROQUINIER is someone who has a shop with the finest (morocco) leather ware.
I myself am very fond of leather whether it is for a jacket, a coat, a bag, a suitcase, different boxes, a skirt, even a pair of shorts!
Entering this shop the special sweet smell of well-prepared leather will climb up your nose to your brains that immediately will understand the message and will lead you to the finest objects they have in the shop......
And always think: when will I be here again and if the answer is: in 2-3-4 years then don't hesitate but buy!
What to buy: whatever is to your liking and whatever you can pay for.....
What to pay: pay for what you buy don't haggle here.....

Every Wednesday and Saturday morning, a market is held in the centre of St Brieuc. There are a variety of stalls: fresh produce including seafood, fruit and vegetables; local beers and ciders; local crafts and clothes and general bric-a-brac.
The market spreads out from the square into all the narrow side streets, and gives a wondefully bustling feel to this town, which, like all the other small towns in this area stops dead at lunchtime! Still, plenty of time to grab a galette or two from the many carts selling them!
