Pays Bigouden - commerces
Dans les années 1970-1980, le mode de vie traditionnel en Bretagne disparaît peu à peu. Si l’image touristique et folklorique de la Bretagne ne s’attarde qu’à la surface des choses, Thersiquel cherche avant tout le contact et le respect des Bigoudens, qui lui ouvrent alors la porte de leur intimité.
Les magasins de village, souvent tenus par des femmes, sont les lieux de sociabilité par excellence, tout comme les bistros.
