Notre Dame de Penhors, Brittany
It was a beautiful day and we had enjoyed a wonderful walk around Pors Poulhan, but I was keen to see more of the coast and so we used the map to follow small roads further south.
The Church of St Suliau, Sizun final
I spent a magical hour in the Church one evening.
The Church of St Suliau, Sizun, contd
One evening the church was closed so I used my me-time to explore the outside of the building.
