I am back in my road warrior mode going this time to my backyard of my beautiful Morbihan, lovely Bretagne and in my belle France. I have come here before to pick one of my sons’ who worked here and we patronise the local businesses, I decided to come back to the area for memories’ sake. Therefore, let me tell you on the Church Saint André of Val d’Oust ,part III !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

In my beautiful area, the monuments, sights and plain fun are forever. We are just kicking in for more in my road warrior trails, Stay tune to this mine and yours blog, And do read my other posts on Val d’Oust or Le Roc Saint André!

The Church Saint André has a single nave. The choir ends with a flat, gable-toothed bedside. The curved arches are in coated and painted bricks; used to tighten the space of the nave, they fall back on cylindrical columns or on interior buttresses, thus relieving the gutter water walls as well. The large bays with flamboyant later, concentrated on the south façade, provide a very high brightness inside the church. To the west, the Cornish-inspired steeple is accosted by a staircase turret and has an arrow in granite masonry.

The Church Saint André  was rebuilt between 1901 and 1903, replacing that of the 16C too outdated. The steeple is 35 meters high and its style recalls those of Leon in Finistère dept 29. The church of the trivial, then parish of the Roc is under the term of the Apostle Saint André (St Andrews). It has the form of a Latin cross, with unequal arms, which indicates a retouching in the primitive plan. The doors, the arcades of the transepts and the windows are ogive in style. It is noted three paintings by the Breton painter Lhermitais, from the convent of Roga. To the west stands a square, stone, two-bay steeple. On this side, the porch is formed by the extension of the nave, a unique arrangement of its kind. The lateral altars are dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and the sacred Heart.
