Abbey of Our Lady of Paimpont

During our trip through the forest of Brocéliande, we came across PAIMPONT, and the first thing we saw was its beautiful Abbey. It was founded by King Domnomia Judicael in the 7th century, but numerous extensions were added to the buildings in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. On our visit, a part of the Abbey was being restored, but it didn't prevent us from seeing its interior. Altarpieces, frescoes and statues take you to the past in the deepest silence. We were absolutely alone with complete freedom from anyone taking pictures. What a difference from Spain.
