One of the things we like in Brittany is the old parish churches--enclosures they are called--with church, ossuary, and, most importantly, the "calvaire," an outdoor sculpture thing usually depicting scenes from the life of Christ, plus other local curiosities. It was pouring rain as we visited St. Thegonnec, November 28th, but still interesting and pleasant. Gloomy grey weather is almost best for Brittany. It's a very spiritual, spooky place, with "religious" monuments here going back at least 7,000 years.

The Ossuary, always a fun place, but
apparently closed in the off-season

Filthy, rotten, disgusting pigeons

St. Thegonnec provides a free public campground right in
the centre ville
