Although I often stop in churches or chapels on my walks (if the door is not locked), I have never come across a place of worship that is dedicated to the patronage of Saint-NICODEME. The person of Nicodemus takes us far back to the Holy Land in Jesus' time; he is mentioned several times by at least one of the four evangelists. I did some more research this morning: In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), John describes the encounter of a Nicodemus, a scribe and member of the Jewish High Council, who visits Jesus at night and has a discussion with him about faith (John 3:1-21). Later, at the meeting of the High Council, he speaks in Jesus' favor: "But Nicodemus, one of their own, who had previously visited Jesus, said to them, 'Does our law condemn a man before it has examined him and found out what he does?'" (John 7:50-51). After the crucifixion, it is Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus who bury the body with dignity (John 19:38-42).

A railway bridge over the Blavet that leads directly into a tunnel. There is only freight traffic here. At around 35km, this was half the distance from Pontivy to Lorient for us.

The chapel is nestled close to the rocks on the other side of the river. It can be reached via hiking trails on the other side.

There are 28 locks which allow navigation between Pontivy and Hennebont. These structures, built in the 19th century, are still very important for the many pleasure boats. The lock keeper moves from one lock to another to allow boats to continue their journey in the Blavet valley.

The 470,000 line passes over the Blavet and up the hill through a tunnel and a beautiful bridge, wide enough to be taken on foot without risk. This line is currently only used for freight (cereals) but was used for travelers until 1960 (occasionally between 1951 and 1960).

Dramatic boulders along the towpath in a 300 degree loop of the river

Superb route to go from central Brittany (Caurel or Guerledan) to Quiberon without going through the main roads
