Abbaye de Paimpont

Here are some pictures of the Abbaye de Paimpont. Beautiful old place, parts of it is medieval. It is a beautiful church. You can see at the right of this entry a statue of Saint Judicaël, a Breton saint (his Day is the 16th of December, for those who want to celebrate this lesser known holy person). I have also a picture of Saint John the Baptist somewhere (patron Saint of Quebeckers, so I am particularly found of him). And I have some good news about my soul: it appears that I am not doomed yet. Holy water didn't burn me, I checked. It could have for the unbelievers, but I didn't dare to spray them with it.

Le 16 decembre, c'est aussi la fete supposee de Beethoven (parce qu'il fut baptise le 17). Et il y a deux saints associes au Quebec (ou plutot au peuple qui a colonise les deux rives du Saint-Laurent): Saint Jean le Baptiste, et Sainte Anne, la mere de Marie, qui protege les petites maisons blanches contre les inondations...
