Douarnenez is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.
The legendary city of Ys, of Breton folklore, is believed to lie beneath Douarnenez Bay. The port is also associated with the Arthurian medieval story of Tristan, lover of Iseult, for whom Tristan Island is named. The island was originally named St Tutuarn Island after the priory founded there in the 12th century. Douarnenez has several 16th and 17th-century churches, including the Church of Ploaré, which has a Gothic steeple (1548–86), and the chapels of Sainte-Croix, Sainte-Hélène, and Saint-Michel.

Julian TAYLOR, Born in Paris in 1954. English painter living in France since 1975. Studied for two years in an Art School in England and decides to paint as an autodidact.
Son of the english painter James Taylor, Julian Taylor has followed the Art School classes there for two years. But such a teaching does not suit with his free nature, so he decides to take charge of his training. He settles definitively in France in 1975.
Julian Taylor exhibits regularly in parisian shows (Automne, Artistes Français, Comparaison, S.N.B.A.) and also in Anger’s show. He exhibits since 1975 in different galleries, most of the time in France, but also in Canada, United States, Japan, South Africa and Switzerland. More on Julian TAYLOR
