The famous sculpture "Vannes et sa femme" (Vannes and His Wife) on the facade of a half-timbered house in Vannes, Brittany, France. The polychrome stone busts likely date back to the 16th century. They are located at the intersection of Rue du Bienheureux-Pierre-René-Rogue and Rue Noé. The building on which the sculpture is mounted is listed as a historical monument (Monument historique). The sculpture is a well-known landmark of the city.

16th Century late gothic chapel and water spring/wash place located in a quiet forest, a short walk from the road to Plougoumelen in the commune of Bono in Morbihan. Apparently only opened once a year. The chapel, rebuilt in the 16th century, finds its original location on a spring located one meter deep under the current altar; it was probably an ancient place of worship. It was in the 17th century that the nave was extended towards the West by raising the floor by one meter to hide the fountain under the altar and to pave the church. Outside, from the east apse of the chapel, under the large glass roof from the end of the 15th century, a niche under a pointed arch shelters the spring basin. A stone channel allows the water to cross the paved square, before flowing into a hollow cylindrical pile, the overflow of which pours below into a paved space accessed by a few steps. The space is surrounded by four walls decorated with stone benches used for resting pilgrims. The spring water was said to cure mouth and toothaches (and words), and even loss of voice, affecting the talkative and slanderous women of Plougoumelen who spoke ill of the rector. The latter gave them the cleaning of the chapel as penance! This service is currently carried out by volunteers from the chapel protection association; in the chapel, a sculpted monkey covering its mouth with a paw reminds us of this reputation. The Notre-Dame de Becquerel chapel presides over one of the most frequented pardons in the Alréen region. People came on pilgrimage to hear news of distant relatives, sailors, or to find the bodies of those lost at sea. The rite consisted of sweeping the inside of the chapel, then emptying and cleaning the fountain outside. The magazine La Croix des marins indicated in 1901 that the Notre-Dame-de-Becquerel chapel hosted a very popular pilgrimage every August 15, especially among sailor

very pretty

Very pretty path, it goes through the fields, quite surprising. On the other hand, it makes the shock absorbers work.

A classic for walking around Conleau/Vannes and for going for a drink on foot or by bike on the Conleau peninsula. The trail is connected to other routes!

The greenway from Saint Anne d'Auray to Vannes is great and can be done quickly.

Morning or evening or during the week otherwise there are lots of walkers
