Yes indeed, in my road warrior mode again in my backyard of the Morbihan breton! And voilà new towns even passed by close never in until now! It goes without saying my previous comments, will need a lifetime to see them all just in my beautiful Morbihan. On my way home, went again by a new town for a road warrior stop . Now, I give you this is Loyat !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The little town of Loyat is located in my beautiful department 56 of Morbihan, in my lovely region of Bretagne. Loyat is mentioned in a deed of donation made, around 1055, by Josselin, viscount of Porhoët, in favor of the abbey of Redon or the priory of Sainte-Croix de Josselin.
What we could see was the church. The Church Saint Pierre et Saint Paul was originally built in the 18C; it was blessed in 1749, but renovated last in 1937 and the bell tower is from 1963. It has the shape of a Latin cross, and its two secondary altars are under the name of the Rosary and Saint Anne. There is not much information on it probably because it is all new as churches goes here. Nevertheless, it is an impressive monument in city center surrounded by many pubs and restos.
Something to see here which we had no time as were just passing by is the Château de Loyat, 18C,with guided visits is better but individuals have a set time of the year. The Château de Loyat built between 1718 and 1734 was a former fortress belonging to the Viscounty of Porhoët.

Again, hope you enjoy the post on this is Loyat !! as I

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
