The term "basilica," used above by Vincent Reboul, can have two different meanings for places of worship: + First, as an architectural style: In the Roman Empire, basilicas were secular buildings (market halls or courtrooms); the early Christian era partially adopted this architectural style and, for this purpose, also the term "basilica." + Second, "basilica minor" is an honorary title for special places of worship throughout the world (regardless of the aforementioned architectural style), which has been personally awarded by the Pope since the 18th century.

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).

There are 28 locks which allow navigation between Pontivy and Hennebont. These structures, built in the 19th century, are still very important to the many pleasure boats that sail here. 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).
