From here you can admire the breathtaking views of this charming coastal hamlet nestled in a quiet bay. As you cycle along the rugged paths, you will see the turquoise waters and sandy beach below, framed by lush vegetation and cliffs. Bréhec is a peaceful place where you can take a break and appreciate its picturesque harbour and traditional Breton houses which add to the beauty of the landscape of this high place.

The Chapelle Saint-Marc in Saint-Marc, Brittany, is set slightly back from the bay of the same name. You will appreciate this picturesque and historic chapel with the lush Breton countryside as a backdrop. The 17th-century chapel, with its simple stone façade and picturesque bell tower, stands gracefully amidst rolling hills and green fields with views of the sea.

We were very surprised when we drove down the mountain and suddenly saw this architecturally very remarkable church in front of us. The entrance area is particularly beautifully decorated with the statutes of the apostles and a Madonna from the 14th century. The altarpiece shows a scene that is not often shown: Jesus and the children that he calls to him, even though his disciples try to stop them.

This church and Pommorio Castle are connected by a direct path, and the large gate at the beginning of the path, which has no protective character, separates them. It is interesting that this church is dedicated to St. Columba, an Irish-Scottish monk. We have rarely found these monks in this area, but we know them well from our homeland of Austria.
