Exploring history in London & abroad with my camera
Le Cadou is a small hamlet about 15 minutes outside Sizun and on an old Roman road from Brasparts to Sizun and beyond.

We had done a lot of walking during the past ten days and wanted a rest day so we went to Landerneau to see the Henry Moore Exhibition at the Hélène and Éduard Leclerq Foundation.

The first stop was at the Church of Notre Dame at Kernascléden. I had seen photographs on Facebook and the…
Camors is northwest of Landevant, not far from our gîte and surrounded by forests.

We parked at the lakeside at Le Petit Forest which is advertised as an Xtreme Forest Experience…
