Alright

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).

This café unexpectedly appeared on the Blavet near a lock. It was rather quiet due to the cooler weather. There are plenty of drinks and simple food to eat.

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 is a café in the lock keeper's house in St. Nicolas des eaux. Large terraces invite you to rest, and a steel Venus towers over the scene.

The Pontivy Tourist Office is located on a boat on the banks of the Blavet.

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