10th_Europe_Report -- 01_img_0984.jpg
We are soon out of the modern city of Brest driving east along the old road that follows the north bank of the Élorn River.  The signs tell us we are entering La Forest-Landerneau and nearing our first stop at the large "bridge" town of Landerneau.  We will make one short stop first, but not realize the significance of the place until later.  This was just an old stone arch alongside the road.  Keith found it attractive and took a quick photo which got overlooked in uploading this series.  We realized too late that this was the "Arch of Château de Joyeuse Garde" which this Wikipedia site tells us is the traditional site of a "castle associated with Arthurian legend".
