En venant des Daules par le sentier douanier, vous aurez longé la Pointe du Nid pour aboutir dans le pays de Saint-Coulomb. Voilà encore un de ces villages (un de plus !) fondé par un moine, Colomban, qui débarqua d'Irlande en l'an 580 et fondit ici une petite paroisse.
L'anse Du Guesclin que borde un superbe croissant de sable blond, la plage du même nom, est un des fleurons naturels de la petite cité. Les dunes qui l'abritent, au Sud, sont une terre de prédilection pour le panicaut maritime particulièrement abondant à cet endroit.
A l'Est de la plage, le fort Du Guesclin construit sur les vestiges d'une ancienne forteresse, s'isole sur son île dès que la marée monte. Son origine est fort ancienne et vient du nom du constructeur du premier édifice : Bertrand Du Guesclin, aïeul du chef de guerre qui portait le même nom. La première forteresse, édifiée en 1160 et occupée par la famille pendant 3 générations, changea de propriétaire en août 1234 où le roi Louis l'attribua à Henry d'Avaugour. La famille Du Guesclin s'installa au château du Plessis-Bertrand, dans les terres de Saint-Coulomb, dont la construction s'étala de 1247 à 1259. La forteresse édifiée à l'origine sur l'île se dégrada au cours des ans pour finir par être démantelée puis rasée. Sur la base des systèmes défensifs dessinés par Vauban, encore lui, le fort actuel fut construit en 1758 afin de défendre la côte contre les attaques anglaises. Il est démilitarisé depuis bien longtemps et désormais occupé par de paisibles résidents.

Union Minister for Science and Technology, Earth Sciences and Health and Family Welfare, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, today dedicated to the nation two databases brought out by the Department of Science and Technology on `S&T Awards in India’ and `Indian origin academicians and scholars abroad’.
The database on `S&T Awards in India’ is an attempt to build and manage the information about science and technology awards that have been instituted since 1928 in India. It provides data on various aspects such as discipline, periodicity, categories, awards level, chronology and state wise distribution of awards and their sponsors. It will be useful for planners, policy makers, funding agencies and other stakeholders to chalk out their programmes as per the priorities of R&D activities.
The database on `Indian Origin Academicians’, in turn, has information on 23,472 Indian academicians and research scholars working in various countries. It is of immense relevance/importance in the present-day scenario where international collaborations with knowledge experts are the key factor for S&T led growth and competitiveness. The project team explored around 2,700 academic university websites to gather this information from selected countries (US, UK, Australia and Canada).
The Minister released the databases at a function to mark the National Science Day, which is celebrated every year since 1987 in remembrance of Nobel Laureate Sir C.V.Raman’s path breaking discovery of Raman Effect in 1930.
He also presented the National S&T Communication Awards, AWSAR (Augmenting Writing Skills for Articulating Research) Awards, and SERB (Science and Engineering Research Board)’s Women Excellence Awards on the occasion.
Under the National S&T Communication Awards, Dr. S. Anil Kumar (Anilkumar Vadavathoor), a well known popular science writer in Malayalam has won the Award for Outstanding Efforts in Science & Technology Communication through Print Media including Books and Magazines; Indian Resource and Development Association and Mr. Mihir Kumar Panda the Award for Outstanding Efforts in Science & Technology Popularization among Children; Dr Sheffali Gulati, Delhi and Mr.Rakesh Khatri the Award for Outstanding Efforts in Science & Technology Communication through Innovative and Traditional Methods; and Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa the Award for Outstanding Efforts in Science & Technology Communication in Electronic Media.
