I am again in my road warrior mode in my beautiful Morbihan, coming back for memories of places visited with the family and new pictures. When I came into the Morbihan these were two different towns, and later they merged into today’s Theix-Noyalo. Therefore, let me tell you about the Church Sainte Cécile of Theix-Noyalo, part I !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.
The Church Sainte Cécile ; dating from the gothic period which made it go back to the 12C at least, and perhaps even the 11C. The chapel of the left wing had been rebuilt in 1700, and was under the term of Saint Isidore.It went over many rénovations in the 17C and 18C ; rebuilt between 1852-55 in the Romanesque or Gothic, which is restored in the 17-18C ,and many interior renovation from 1880 to 1900.
The painting titled “Décollation de Sainte Catherine”, dates from the 17C. The furniture like the pulpit, the altarpieces of the lateral altars and several statues including that of St. Cecilia dates from the 19C. The statue of Sainte Cécile was placed, in 1895, in the niche of the tower.
The current Church Sainte Cécile dates from the end of the 19C and replaced the old church which was too damaged. A statue of Sainte Cécile, patroness of musicians, is placed above the entrance porch.

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
