Plomor and his megaliths

aout_2005_bretagne_320On the chart of the megaliths of Brittany one is surprised to note the great number of monuments existing on the Bigouden country. The only commune of Plomeur has a score of classified prehistoric sites.

In Penmarc' H close to the prehistoric museum of Porz-Carn are gathered many menhirs and steles as well as a burial with two corridors discovered in the common neighbors. In 1866, one counted more than 700 megaliths… Dommage….

The rocky outcrop of the Torch marks the end of immense bay of Audierne. This paradise of slips gathers the followers of surfing and the funboard.

The excavations of 1876 gave ceramics decorated with vertical veins characteristic of the style known as of very widespread “Kérugou” in the south of Brittany. Age: approximately 5000 years, final Neolithic era. (Waraezplomeur.com)

aout_2005_bretagne_314The current headlight of Eckmühl is the third headlight of Penmarc' h. the headlight was built in accordance with the will of the marchioness of Blocqueville, girl of Louis Nicolas Davout, Prince d' Eckmühl. The construction of the headlight started in 1893. It returned in activity in October 1897.

the inauguration was deferred to October 17 because of the large Fair of Bridge the Abbot. But that did not prevent the festival: dawn serenade, race of bicycles, popular banquet, regattas, reception. But the apotheosis was at 5 P.m. 00 when, for the first time, Eckmühl at sea addressed its pencil of light to all the bâteaux ones. The festival was completed by a dinner with, with the menu:

Young partridge Chaudfroid

Pies of liver-fat of Strasbourg

As you could note it in my presentation, I could not pass beside the world of Troy… And there, one is in full inside!!!!

Please forgive me, Eckmühl does not have anything a crowned place… though, in the world of Troy…
