Quiberon Island lay in Brittany, not far from Upper Normandy. Surprisingly, Thor Rosier got along very well with these Quidditch players.
Perhaps because they had won the French League Cup championship several times in a row, he felt that one local team was enough to represent France's overall standard.
In fact, sometimes when everyone was an outstanding star player, their coordination produced worse results. Of course, it was also possible that Rosier was merely making up the numbers. After all, both the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament had been suspended for ten years.
