On show in the parish church of Guémené sur Scorff, Notre Dame de la Fosse. This church is so austere that I reckon you'd take it for a Methodist chapel if it weren't for a few statues and a sprinkling of candles.

Bon-bons!

In the three years I have lived in France, this is the first time I've noticed an 'épicerie', a specialist grocery, a 'spicery', in fact.

The Pardon of Notre Dame de Quelven

The pilgrims arrive at Quelven for the three o'clock mass. This is the third mass of the day, following the candle-light procession the previous evening.
Quelven, a tiny hamlet in our commune of Guern in the Morbihan, is home to the third-largest pardon in the whole of Brittany.
The largest pardon is that of St-Anne d'Auray.

The Pardon of Notre Dame de Quelven

Not only a religious festival, an opportunity to attract customers.
