Let me tell you a bit more about Plouharnel. I have other posts mostly on the surfing beaches here ,but this is the off the beaten path gem I like to tell you more. An update of an older post, hope you enjoy it as much I.
As you know Plouharnel is just south of my town say about 25 km or 15 miles. It is in the beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne. And it has two wonderful abbeys that looks like only one! Let me tell you a bit about the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Michel.
The Abbey benedictine of Saint Michel , at the end of WWI it was house by US troops. The Abbey of Saint-Michel de Kergonan is a Benedictine monastery, depending on the Solesmes congregation and located next to the abbey. It was founded in 1898 by the Abbaye Sainte-Cécile de Solesmes and has several nuns.
This Abbey of Saint Michel de Kergonan , possesses not only a long history of the tradition of Gregorian chant but also that of its precious audience for this tradition. The Abbey still supports Gregorian chant, not only in favor of its offices but also by participating in publications. Thus, it helped write the Gregorian Hours released in 2008. Moreover, the choir sister Marie-Emmanuel Pierre, published a book on Gregorian chant in 2005: Cantabo Domino. Five Abbesses have succeeded Saint-Michel de Kergonan.
