Morbihan and Lorient harbor seen from the international space station. – Thomas Pesquet / ESA
It has become his specialty. From the International Space Station (ISS) where he is located, the famous French astronaut Thomas Pesquet regularly sends unpublished photos of the French regions. Brittany seems to inspire him since,
after the Quiberon peninsula, this time it is a magnificent snapshot of Morbihan that the astronaut, on a mission for a month for the needs of the European Space Agency, published on Sunday. We can see the harbor of Lorient, Blavet, Lanester, Port-Louis, Larmot-Plage, Ploemeur and even as far as Hennebont.
Ploemeur, Locmiquélic, Kerroc’h… for sure, we are in Brittany! Lorient harbor during a passage along the west coast of France #forfusco #kenavo https://t.co/OV7dqRmuX4 #MissionAlpha pic.twitter.com/pAGqKHNw6I

Quite logically, this spectacular image is already extremely shared on social networks, in particular by FC Lorient and the Interceltic Festival. “We all have a Breton friend, don’t we? », Thomas Pesquet had launched on May 13, when he was already publishing a photo of the West of France.
