I like to tell you about the new small town of Bon Repos sur Blavet, but not let them fool you the best here is in the old part, this is now a combination of at least 3 towns that I visited on my last road warrior tour of my region, These town are all in the Côtes-d’Armor Dept 22 of my lovely region of Bretagne, and in my belle France. Just to show you the diversity and beauty all around me, Therefore, this is my take on the Church Saint Gildas of Laniscat and Bon Repos sur Blavet !! Hope you enjoy it as I.
The village of Laniscat is now part of Bon Repos sur Blavet ,and the siége of the new town of Bon Repos sur Blavet. Laniscat is a dismemberment of the old primitive parish of Plussulien under the monarchy, the parish of Laniscat has three truce: Rosquelfen, Saint-Gelven and Saint-Ygeaux.The towns of Saint-Gelven and Saint-Ygeaux were detached from Laniscat in 1850 and the villages of Kerdahel, Saint-Delon, Kerboneleguy, Kerselaven, Kerdrebuil and Correc are detached in 1851, in order to create and enlarge the town of Saint-Gelven.
