Brittany, France – In the early to mid-20th century, a group of eminent scholars from Paris spent their summer holidays in L'Arcouest, a town located along the English Channel in the Brittany region. This circle of intellectuals included Marie Curie, Jean Perrin, Frédéric Joliot, and Irène Joliot-Curie. Now, a documentary film titled L'esprit de L'Arcouest, released this year, sheds light on this little-known chapter of history.
L'esprit de L'Arcouest was directed by Florence Riou and set in the early 20th century at the Arcouest point in Brittany, facing the Bréhat archipelago.
