The Chapelle Notre Dame de Sion is located in the town of Plouay in my beautiful department of Morbihan no, 56 of my lovely Bretagne, and my belle France. I came for the castle (see post) and a lovely ride, and found me a quant nice chapel, This is a split post to give you the castle and chapel, Therefore, let me tell you a bit on the Chapelle Notre Dame de Sion of Plouay !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The current castle was built in 1758, and was the property of the Pluvié family, from 1460 until 1985. This castle was modified in 1758 adding, the private chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame de Sion apart from the castle (see post). It is currently the property of the town of Plouay.
The Notre Dame de Sion Chapel was the domestic chapel of the Pluvié family built in the Manehouarn estate in 1661. Renovated by firefighters after its acquisition by the town of Plouay, it houses the recently renovated and listed statue of Saint Michael. The town of Plouay bought the château de Manéhouarn, castle and park, from Count Henri de Pluvié in 1985. Recently, two stained glass windows have been put back in place, one representing Santa Barbara and the other Notre-Dame de Sion. The chapel has been renovated by the firefighters’ association and the outbuildings of the castle have been converted into gîtes (rental lodgings) by the town.

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
