I have written before on the town, but again, found me older pictures of this chapel that should be in my blog, Therefore, here is my take on the Chapelle de la Trinité of Plumergat !!! Hope you enjoy this post as I.

A bit for reference on Plumergat  tell us is one of the primitive parishes in Bretagne created around the 6C, during the immigration of Bretons from the Isles of Britain (present-day Great Britain) to Armorica (present-day Bretagne). Christianity has left its mark on the town which still has 11 churches and chapels. It is also nicknamed “the village of the 3 bell towers”, in reference to the three religious buildings located there.

Dating from the 15C, the Chapelle de la Trinité or Trinity Chapel is a fine example of the flamboyant style. Its drip edges and sand pits abound with sculptures with various motifs: animals, sometimes in strange poses or playing bagpipes, fantastic characters and monsters. A rood screen used to separate the choir from the nave.

Lords and clergy had the right to enter the choir, the sacred part, while the people remained in the nave. The chapel is located near the Church Saint-Thuriau (see posts) . It is with a polygonal choir with three sides, surmounted by triangular pediments in the Beaumanoir style. A communion barrier dated 1640.

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 All rights reserved.
