The Town with a Model Parish Close

by hquittner - last update: Sep 23, 2007

We Finally Arrive

South Porch & Triple Gabled Nave Wall
Guimiliau has the most important Parish Close. It has the Cavary with the most carved figures on it. The church has the most elaborate South Porch. There is a cemetery and an ossuary. The church has a tall belfry. The church interior contains many items of interest. Thus it is truly representative of a Breton Parish Close church.

This was the Third Close

We had already visited Pleyben and Lampaul-Guimiliau only 5 km away. When about to leave that last place we realized it was lunch time and there were no eateries. We decided to have a picnic in the car (it was still raining intermittently) and were lucky enough to find a kind of package toast, a Brie-like cheese, a container of fresh cherries and two bottles of Orangina. En route to Guimiliau we passed a roadside Calvary cross witha picnic table in front of it. Then St. Miliau blessed us. The rain ceased. We stopped and feasted. (See our Off the Beaten Path Tip).
