Brenillis is a decommissioned nuclear facility, only 15 minutes drive from our house. It was created in 1962 to provide electricit, as France was dependant on expensive imported oil.
In the 1970s the Breton Nationalist groups, always very political, demanded closure of the site and the facility is still being decommissioned. There is no danger to the local people or wildlife so we have a beautiful lake, which was created to cool the reactors. This is perfect for all forms of water sports, walking the dogs, as there is a path all the way round the lake, and there are some big fish to be caught.
Whenever we have been, there are very few other people around although it's a lovely picnic spot and entirely safe for the children.
It looks lovely. I bet those two daft dogs love it. Jx
