In Kernascleden, in southern Brittany there is a wonderful small visitor attraction, Maison de la Chauve-souris, which celebrates the bat. The old house is linked by cameras to the gothic church on the other side of the road which has a maternity roost of Greater Horseshoe bats in the roof. The museum has a collection of everything ”Bat” and a splendid gift shop. International Bat Night is just one of their events which aim to introduce bats to a wider public. It is well worth a visit—they even have an online shop for that perfect bat gift! |
