LIFE Magazine November 12, 1951: "The Emerald Coast of Brittany was conceived by Lux as a dream world of tranquil waters and billowing sails. While strollers watch from the bluffs, an American schooner (left) noses past an English yacht, a huge clipper ship glides across the horizon and a red-sailed French oyster boat skirts the shore at night."
