This is Le Faouët in my beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of the lovely region of Bretagne, and in my belle France. Once, again, found me older pictures not yet in my blog and they should be, Therefore, let me tell you a bit more on the Chapelle Saint Fiacre of Le Faouët !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
At about 2 km south of Le Faouët on the village of Saint-Fiacre, which developed near the chapel of the same name, you will see the Chapelle Saint Fiacre rebuilt from 1450 with an exceptional polychrome wood rood dating from 1480 It also has quality stained glass windows It has a facade cut into triodes with a bell-gable often found in Brittany. That of Saint-Fiacre is however triple flanked by two side turrets and a balcony. The interior is composed of five bays with a square chevet at their end.
On the Chapelle Saint Fiacre facade, there is a beautiful bell tower mounted on the gable surrounded by two turrets, the one on the right contains the staircase that provides access to the bell tower, the other has a decorative purpose. The porch with vault of stones is admirable for the delicacy of its sculpture and its double basket handle door. The ducal banner and the ermine shows that the chapel owes its magnificence to the ducal protection.
You can read a lot more on it in my previous post on the chapel in my blog,

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
