It's been an amazing summer (as I know it has back in Blighty) and the days are still hot as I type this mid-September. So what a shame that our few days in Brittany coincided with some very murky weather.

| We still ventured to Le Cairn de Barnenez, a structure dating from 4800 BC |
 |
| Sadly the cairn was partially destroyed by quarriers up until the 1950s |
 |
| One of eleven passageways that led to a burial chamber |
 |
| The photos don't show how wild, wet & windy it was, the poor guide struggling to keep her papers dry and in order! |
On our way back to Roscoff we stopped in St Pol de Léon, managing to keep dry too!
 |
| A beautiful floral display outside the Kreisker chapel (sadly closing as we walked past) |
 |
| We did get to visit the cathedral with its superb stained-glass window... |
 |
| ...and beautifully lit interior. |
 |
| Originally the residence of the St Pol canon who had the right to collect a stipend from the local population. Lucky him living in such a beautiful building |
