In view of this Marian shrine, a "Chapelle Notre Dame," I would like to offer the viewer a brief reflection from the important French order founder and Doctor of the Church, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090 to 1153). He recommended at the time: "In danger, in doubt, in difficulties, think of Mary, invoke Mary. Do not let her name leave your lips, never let it leave your heart. (...) Under her protection, you have nothing to fear; if she goes before you, you will not tire; if she grants you her favor, you will reach your goal."

Don’t attack too hard at the start!

Well-known to Breton cyclists, the Côte de Mûr-de-Bretagne has become a classic of the Tour de France, with its characteristic straight climb. Although short, it can get your thighs burning with more than 500 meters at over 10% and a peak at over 13%.

Caution: Be careful when descending; the descent can be perilous due to the slope; you can quickly get carried away by the speed. Beware of the speed and crosswind combination with high-profile wheels 😱🫣

The old castle is now partially open to the public. It looks very defensive.

The Château de Pontivy, or Château des Rohan, was built between the middle of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century for and by the Viscounts of Rohan. Following the codes of Breton military architecture from the end of the 15th century, this castle is one of the last fortified castles to have been built in Brittany. You will notice that the facade allows adaptation to the development of fire artillery, but that particular attention is paid to comfort and decoration. The downspouts are worked, the skylights carved, and the interior of the castle is equipped with fireplaces and latrines, making it a little gem of comfort for the time. Two permanent exhibitions are housed there: one is dedicated to the sculptor Gaston Schweitzer, while the other is a more contemporary installation by Japanese artist Koki Watanabe. I personally loved the contrast offered by this rather austere facade with the charm of the half-timbered houses in the city center, which I invite you to take the time to discover.

This curved section of the famous Nantes-Brest canal lets you discover the richness of the banks of the Blavet, which flows into the Lorient estuary in Morbihan. You can see that its bed is mainly artificial, and that its course is regulated by an ingenious system of locks. Slightly to the north of Mûr-de-Bretagne, the Guerlédan dam abruptly interrupts its course, thus giving birth to the largest artificial lake in Brittany, the Lac de Guerlédan. The gravelly surface is pleasant for both touring bikes, gravel and even road bikes. I am personally charmed by the melody of the tires on the gravel, so this portion is conducive to meditation and relaxation for me. A real moment of vacation!
