The river of Etel forms an inland bay called "ria" before it reaches the sea. It's called in French "Ria d'Etel" or in Breton "Stêr an Intel". There are a number of islands, some barely big enough to accomodate a house, and the jagged coastline creates many peninsulas and small coves. The area produces some very tasty oysters.Villages around the 'ria' can be proud of their very rich historical heritage : dolmens and standing stones (menhirs), pretty chapels, holy springs (fontaines), picturesque harbours and much more.
