Again another property have written before in my wonderful Pluvigner, We again took advantage it was heritage days this weekend or journées du patrimoine, and the gardens here were open again, Therefore, let me give you the latest pictures on the Château de Keronic of Pluvigner, part I !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
From the grid at the end of a long beautiful road of trees, 2,5 km from city center of Pluvigner right on the road D 102 direction Languidic. This is the Château Keronic! Of course, in my beautiful Morbihan Department 56 of my lovely region of Bretagne.
I will cut short the text as more in my other posts, and what I want is to showcase the new pictures of this wonderful castle still in private hands !!! The Parc de Keronic, 32-hectare landscaped park with pond, formal garden, trees and heather plants, Open exceptionally for European Heritage Days, it offers beautiful views of the castle and its outbuildings, which are private.

The Château de Keronic is an imposing mansion of the 15-17C, but largely reengineered by the Harscouët family of Saint Georges around 1860. It is still the property of this family, currently represented by Viscount Christian de la Tullaye. Set amidst large woods, the castle has a large Chapel. In addition, another Chapel exists in the park along an alley, south of the Castle. The domain of Kéronic, located in the villages of Kéronic and Camors, namely: the Château de Kéronic in its entirety, the facades and roofs of the whole, the Saint-Joseph Chapel in its entirety, the enclosure walls of the domain,

It worth the trip here as you are welcome by the Viscountess herself and this time was able to say Hi to the Viscount as he was leaving the property, Worth the detour on Heritage Days ! Another of my off the beaten path gems in my neck of the woods , just love it. Again, hope you enjoy the post on the Chateau de Keronic of Pluvigner, part I as I..
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
