Snails and garden slugs abound. The kids have made a slug sanctuary in the back garden and when we go for walks they delight in finding snails.
Ile-Grande is a rocky island with sweeping views and an "allee couverte" from the end of the neolithic period. How neolithic peoples moved megaliths weighing over a ton for their burial chambers is fascinating to ponder.
This church is said to be where King Arthur came to visit.
Back in Perros Guirec, we treat ourselves to real French macaroons and some beach time.
For dinner, we head to the cove at Saint-Guirec.
We stayed out later than usual and were treated to an amazing sunset of liquid light and the serene lapping of waves.
The original statue of Saint Guirec used to be wooden and was placed in this little island shrine built in the 12th century. The statue is now located in the adjacent chapel and his nose is almost non-existent due to the belief that sticking a pin in his nose would bring luck in finding a spouse.
My camera and I walked back uphill to La Gite de ma Mere and soaked in the sights.
Happy Canada Day!
