And need to update this one, a anecdote of a town in the off the beaten path of my lovely Bretagne! The main sight here is the Church of Saint Nicolas and will tell you a bit about it. However, how I got here was that my company celebrated a finance team meeting at a local farm and this is how I found out about Loudéac! Later, as usual, I took the family for a visit. Therefore , let me tell you again on the Church Saint Nicolas of Loudéac, part III !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The main sight here is the Church of Saint Nicolas and will show the new blog pics. A brief note ,the church was built on the location of an older one. The first stone of the church is blessed on September 24, 1758. The work is done in 1765. The bell tower dates from 1743-1746 and the nave dates from 1758-1762. The choir dates from the 18C. The organs date from 1854. The statues of St. Maurice and St. Nicolas, in marble, date from 1775. In the south altarpiece, the statue of the Virgin and the Child, in Polychrome wood, dates from the 14C. Nice for a small town indeed. Do see my full post on it.

As said, a small country town ,Loudéac, but very lively good city center central on the way from south to north Brittany coasts, nice Church Saint Nicolas, and good local friendly service . Something to keep in mind traveling thru Brittany especially if by car. Again, hope you enjoy this post on the Church Saint Nicolas of Loudéac, part III 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
