churchyard is a curious cross, with platform from which, according to
local tradition, capital sentences were pronounced. On one side is the
crucifix, on the other the B.V.M. On the sides S. John the Baptist and
S. Peter. In the church are two windows middle pointed. There is a lech
in the churchyard at the east end of the church. But what is of far
higher value than the parish church is the remarkable chapel in the
Bourg-bas, which is flamboyant (1475-94), except the N. transept that
is 2nd pointed. Between the nave and the choir and transepts is a tall
crucifix enriched with niches, with railing and gates at the side, a
totally unusual description of roodscreen. The crucifix is certainly
of 1500. The transepts contain four altars with their original
retables. The first on the N. side has very rude carving representing
the Crucifixion, Christ in Glory, and the B. Virgin crowned (?) with
a dove by her. The second and third are plain with graceful border
of foliage. The fourth is a splendid bit of alabaster work, probably
Flemish, and represents a virgin saint, the Crucifixion, a saint,
Christ giving benediction, S. Avée (?), a Queen-saint, S. Mary Magdalen
and a Mermaid. There are some early statues in the chapel, an admirable
S. Lucy of the 15th cent., the drapery splendidly executed. Such early
statues are very rare. Another is of S. Columbanus. Some fragments
of old glass are in the windows. In the churchyard is a very curious
carved Calvary of unique character, also a Holy Well. The E. window of
the chancel is flamboyant of a later character than the rest. In the
N. transept is one flamboyant, the tracery forming a fleur-de-lys. The
others are middle pointed. The chapel has a slate spirelet. S. of the
chapel by the roadside is a lech with a crucifix planted on top of it.
The camp of La Villeneuve is of undetermined date. To reach it the road
to Josselin must be taken and diverged from to the left to Mangolorian.
Near this hamlet is the camp on a steep hill, almost impracticable
on all sides but the west, where it is defended by two ranges of
ditches and by two walls. The camp is called either Villeneuve or
Kastel-Kerneué.
The _Vallon de Poignan_ is within an easy stroll from Vannes. The road
to Pontivy is followed as far as the Chapel of S. Guen, and then a lane
to the right leads to some curious rocks, one of which is fancifully
called a Druid altar. The road to Josselin is then entered, and a lane
to the right conducts to the picturesque, rocky valley of Poignan, at
the end of an avenue of oaks.
_Plescop._ Of little interest; it has a couple of lechs in the
churchyard, and a flamboyant chapel, without much character, to S.
Amon, possibly the father of S. Samson, who came from the neighbourhood
of Vannes, but usually supposed to have been a returned crusader who
asked at Plescop for milk, and as he was refused, cursed the place that
its cows should never yield good milk and butter. As he was found dead
in a furze-brake next morning he has received cult as a saint. Part of
his skull is in a carved oak bust in the chapel, but is not exposed to
veneration, as authenticating documents are non-extant. P. 4th Sunday
in October.
_Surzur._ Three menhirs 15 ft. high are near the hamlet of Begard, and
two ruined allées couvertes are in the coppice of Talhoet. A dolmen
and two fallen menhirs near it at the hamlet of Vinihy. The parish
church of S. Symphorian is a Romanesque building but altered later. The
arcades, the doors and windows are semi-circular. There is a central
tower at the crossing of the transepts surmounted by a slate spire. The
Chapel of N.D. de Recouvrance is of the 16th cent.
_S. Nolff._ The church is partly of the 16th cent. It has been restored
not wisely but too well. The Chapel of S. Anne, 1493, has a fine east
window with stained glass representing Our Lord and seven saints. The
other windows are filled with glaring modern glass.
_Sulniac._ The parish church dates from several periods. Four pillars
and arches are Romanesque, as well as a window near the porch; the
other windows and arcades are later. The nave was rebuilt in fancy
Romanesque in 1893.
* VITRÉ (I.V.) chl. d'arr. A very picturesque town, rivalling
Fougères in objects of interest. It stands on a hill above the Vilaine,
and notwithstanding the destruction of a portion of its ramparts, is
one of the French towns that has best retained the features of the
Middle Ages. But on the side of the railway station all is modern and
uninteresting. To see the old Vitré it is necessary to enter and pursue
the ancient and narrow streets, which form an inextricable tangle. The
houses are mostly slated in front. On the N. side the town assumes a
feudal character. Here the walls stand on the black schist rock, and
are only pierced by a single postern that gives access to a steep
descent by steps into the valley. The castle, on a triangular plan,
was founded at the close of the 11th cent. and was reconstructed in
the 14th and 15th. The entrance is flanked by two towers. The castle
is used partly as a prison and partly as a museum. The Church of
Notre Dame is of the 15th and 16th cents., and has a tower crowned
with a spire of the 18th cent. Outside the church is a stone pulpit.
There is some old glass of the renaissance period: the entry into
Jerusalem, the Adoration of the Shepherds, a representation of the
burning of the tower of the church in 1704. The church also contains a
remarkable triptych of the 16th cent., representing in 32 little groups
on enamelled copper scenes from the New Testament. On the back is an
inscription in rhyme. The church of S. Martin is modern; the old church
is in the cemetery and dates in part from the 16th century.
_Château des Roches_ was formerly the residence of Mme. de Sévigné,
who lived in it repeatedly between 1654 and 1690. It consists of two
blocks of buildings of the 16th cent., and is situated in a pretty
park. Visitors are only admitted to the grounds, to the chapel, and to
the room of Mme. de Sévigné, which contains copies of family portraits
in the private apartments and some objects believed to have belonged
to the marquise; among others a book of accounts for the garden signed
by her. The bed and chairs are of wood painted white and covered with
yellow silk damask.
_Champeaux._ The church is of the 14th and 19th cents., and has fine
glass of the renaissance (1530-5) and tombs of the same period. About a
mile and a half S.W. a menhir 12 ft. high called La Haute Pierre.
PONT L'ABBÉ (F.) chl. arr. Quimper. Here one is in the midst of the
Bigauden country. Observe the curious and ugly way of wearing the
hair and the coiffes. There are many folds of skirts fastened round
the waists. The women are remarkably plain, and have staring eyes and
expose their teeth. The church has fine 2nd pointed east and west
windows. The tower was pulled partly down by Louis XIV. to punish the
people for the Revolt of the Papier timbré. Some old houses. Fine
cloister. The château of the 13th cent. has been transformed into a
mairie. It retains a large tower, and buildings of the 17th cent.
Outside the town to the S.W. is the château of _Kernuz_, transformed by
the proprietor into a museum of flints, bronze and jade weapons, and
gold ornaments found in the cairns and dolmens of the neighbourhood.
The whole peninsula, ending in the Pointe de Penmarch (the Horse's
Head), abounds in prehistoric monuments. Two dolmens are near the road,
in the parish of Plomeur, which has an ugly modern church.
_Penmarch_ was once a thriving seaport, rivalling Nantes, but for
various causes declined, and is now reduced to a couple of hamlets.
The church (S. Non = Ninidh, an Irish Bishop) is an interesting late
flamboyant structure, the tracery in the windows affecting the forms
of fleurs-de-lys. Beneath the E. window is a treasury surmounted by a
gallery. At the junction of the chancel with the nave is a spirelet
supported by turrets, connected with it by flying buttresses. At the
S.W. a pretty little triumphal arch and gable. The church was begun in
1308. Inside the church a fireplace for heating the baptismal water.
A mile and a half off is S. Guénolé, the tower of the church alone
remaining, 1488. A little apse has been built out at the east end. It
contains some curious statues. Here is a bathing establishment, with
comfortable quarters. _Kerity_ has some old maisons fortes, and a
ruined church.
_Tronoen._ A chapel of the same date as that at Penmarch, with a fine
Calvary. Two stages of sculptured groups.
_Lambour._ A flamboyant church, with colonade of the 13th cent.
_Loctudy._ A Romanesque church, with an Italian 18th cent. façade. It
much resembles S. Gildas de Rhuys. It has been restored. _Ile Tudy_ may
be visited, but does not contain much of interest.

THE LITTLE GUIDES
The main features of these books are (1) a handy and charming form,
(2) numerous illustrations from photographs and by well-known artists,
(3) good plans and maps, (4) an adequate but compact presentation
of everything that is interesting in the natural features, history,
archæology, and architecture of the town or district treated.
In those volumes which treat of counties, there is first a general
description of the country--its situation, physical features, flora
and fauna, climate, inhabitants, industries, history and archæology.
Then follows an account of the chief towns and places of interest in
alphabetical order.
The books are not guides in the ordinary sense of the word. They do not
give the usual routes for expeditions, information about hotels, etc.,
but they contain information which may be sufficient for the ordinary
tourist of literary tastes, and they form not only practical handbooks,
but delightful gift books.
