Amazing Place: Castel Meur – The House Between The Rocks

Eliboubane was the mother of Gonéry, another saintly figure to emerge from the ranks of Dark Ages immigrants from Britain to Brittany. A wonderfully quirky medieval chapel was erected in his name at the village of Plougrescant. Saint-Gonéry looks like a building in a cartoon, crooked but delightful. Inside, the 15th-century wall paintings are cartoonish too, but the Biblical stories are told with such charming detail, and against such gorgeous patterned backdrops, that they are truly memorable.
