Brittany

Some impressions of my latest trip to Brittany

 Breton: Breizh, pronounced [brɛjs]

La Venus de Quinipily

A strange ancient Goddess statue of uncertain origin

but with an Egyptian Queen look

located 2 km south east of Baud - Morbihan, Brittany

Once known as "The Iron Lady"

This statue has evidently been remodelled possibly around 1701 

to represent a less pagan and probably a less sexual appearance

read a article about her here (French)

I waited and waited till Vivienne, the Lady of the lake

 and her Excalibur to come out of the water,

but no...

Paimpont  - Foret de Brocéliande

The lovely village reminded me a lot of Glastonbury

Same shops, same "Arthurian" kitch

Le chêne Eon

magnificent old oak

 1000 years old

Brocéliande

I love cows

and here they really seemed to love me too

;-)

A really funny boat-curtain in a restaurant somewhere on the coast

Vièrge à l'enfant at the entrance of the cemetery 

 Landévennec - Presqu'ile de Crozon

Reminded me a lot of the Vierges Noires I saw in Auvergne

Le Chaos de Huelgoat

Wonderful Mysterious place

Lots of tourists !

Very nice Salon de thé

Huelgoat

L'autre Rive

French Bookshop - Cybercafé

in the middle of the 

Foret de Huelgoat

Patrick Dougherty à Trévarez

Patrick Dougherty’s works allude to nests, cocoons, hives 

and lairs built by animals, as well as the artificial forms of huts, 

haystacks, and baskets, created by interweaving branches and twigs together.
