This was mix in with other monuments and really should have a post of its own. This is the first town I lived when came to the beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of the lovely Bretagne in 2011. It is a town divided into many smaller villages or lieu-dit and the main town or bourg is where the church is, even thus I lived in Corn er Hoët (Breton, French would be Orée du Bois meaning edge of the woods). It really packs a lot of monuments with nice architecture and history for a small town, I was lucky to lived in it briefly. Therefore, let me tell you a bit more on the Chapelle Notre Dame des Fleurs of Brech. Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The Chapelle Notre Dame des Fleurs, dates from the 18C, a site of pilgrims very popular during the time of the Pardon du Printemps. Inside, the Notre Dame des Fleurs Chapel is represented in the middle of the altarpiece with fluted pilasters. The chapel is between rue Georges Cadoudal and rue Pont Douar (road D19), at the corner of rue du Stade. This chapel was restored in 1993.
There is reused fenestration from the 14C or 16C. During the restoration of the altar in 1972, a stone belonging to a dolmen was discovered: this stone is now used as an altar table. Inside there is an altar and its altarpiece in polychrome wood. The altarpiece presents, between 2 fluted pilasters, a painting where the Virgin is seated on a throne in the middle of a flower bed. The 4 oculi illuminating the nave were dressed at the end of the 20C with 4 round stained glass windows. The theme evoked is that of the 4 seasons.

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
