La Roche-Maurice
And finally a visit to La Roche-Maurice before returning to Sizun. What a day!
Giacometti Exhibition, Landerneau – France Day 6
After visiting Ploudiry, La Martyre, and Pencran Churches and feeling increasingly ill, it was time for a little lunch in Landerneau. And I regret that we did not explore – on the other hand the Galettes at the Crêperie du Pont were … Continued
Pencran Church – France Day 6
Pencran Church came next on a very grey and wet morning. Apparently there has been a religious building on the site since the 14C. The current Church of Notre Dame, Pencran, dates from the 1500s. The Calvary of 1521 at the entrance was startling against … Continued

Pleyben Church

Mougau Bihan megalith
What a day! A walk around Huelgoat, a visit to Commana Church, and then the first Neolithic construction! Great!
Commana Church
After walking in Huelgoat we set off for Commana in yet another rain shower!
