What has Brittany, France got to do with Independence day and the statue of Liberty?

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's the perfect time to look back at one of the lesser-known chapters of its history. Did you know that Brittany played its own part in the story of the United States? In this video, I visit: • Saint-Goustan, where Benjamin Franklin arrived in December 1776 to seek French support for the American Revolution. • Cléguérec, home to one of France's early Statues of Liberty. • Gourin, whose emigrants crossed the Atlantic in search of a new life, many arriving beneath the Statue of Liberty in New York. It's a fascinating story of friendship, liberty and the historic links between France and America that still exist today. 👍 If you enjoyed this video, please Like, Subscribe and leave a comment.
