[quote] Ils profitent d’une douceur du climat qui est très modéré. [quote]
It is true that the weather is almost never really cold in Britanny, it is almost never really hot either. Some people like this kind of climate, but I think that most would prefer sunnier one. The Atlantic regions south of Britanny (Vendée; charentes, Bordelais), just south of it, have quite more sunnier climate, with much hotter summer, and still have warm in winter.

Yes, but a lot of place in France and Europe does too

I never have heard that young people in Britanny believe more in god than anywhere else?

I think the people in the first beach picture have a US-look, ditto the buildings in both pictures, so I'm going to guess that it's somewhere in the northeast-to-east coast in the US.
On the second picture, I can see a sign that says Fish and Chips, which I tend to assume would be out of place in either the US or Canada — unless it's just a coincidence that there's a chip shop in this place that's been adopted as a 20th century British affectation. I'm fairly sure it's not British or Irish, but it doesn't look like something I'd generally associate with Australia either.
I think I'm going to have to go with somewhere in New Zealand, possibly Dunedin.

I don't think a sign that reads "Fish and Chips" would be out of the ordinary in the US & Canada, especially in coastal communities. We even have a franchise out here called H. Salt Fish & Chips, but maybe that's just in California since I've never seen one on the East Coast.
I'm going to go with Deborah and say that it's somewhere in the US Northeast-Eastern seaboard.
Fair enough — it's just that many Americans I've spoken to before haven't been familiar with the concept of fish and chips (whereas basically *everyone* in Britain, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand knows what it is), so I assumed that it was something which essentially didn't exist there.
Never... my cousins live there, and I went to see them last year! I actually did think of Brighton when I saw the photos, but decided that it couldn't be because there were no hills in the background, and thought that the buildings looked a bit too 'colonial'.
Brighton's a bit of a wacky place actually, but in a good way. It has almost as much graffiti as Rome, but much of it is quite arty. It also apparently has more gay couples than anywhere else in the UK, as well has the highest proportion of people who identified their religion as 'Jedi' in the 2001 census. And over the weekend before the next UK General Election, me and practically all other Green Party activists in the UK will descend on Brighton in a massive effort to get the first Green MP elected to Westminster.
I'm very certain it's somewhere in North America... actually, I used to know someone who lived in Wisconsin, and I seem to remember her showing me a picture of a cathedral that looked a lot like that one.
No-one actually guessed this one that I posted a few months ago, so I'm going to post them again. It's actually three different cities, all on different continents, but they all have the same name:
(The last one isn't even remotely well known though, I don't think).
