Guingamp & Cotes d’Armor - Mardi 21/10

Today we are greeted by the Rotary club of Guingamp. The town is 15th century so the visuals of the town itself were amazing. So to start our visit we walked around and visited the Place du Champ au Roy (where the ramparts were once erected) in front of this square is a wonderful bandstand is located inside and dates from the beginning of the 20th century. It is the last remaining Cotes d’Armor. There were many wonderful site but the other that really stood out was the Basilica Church that was built from the X1th to the XV1th centuries. It attests the evolution of styles and shelters a holy black virgin (yes Jesus was a black man!) venerated since the X1Vth century. Then back to the club house for a beautiful lunch with the local Rotary club and back in the van and on the road for a visit to Musee des Manoirs (a 16th century manor that has been restored) and is now operating as a museum with the history of the manor and the times that the monor has lived through.

Then back to the club house again for Apero dinatoire and home james!!
