Saint Finn Barr’s Cathedral (Gaelic: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarr) is situated near the heart of Cork. It is the most recent ecclesiastical site located where the saint is believed to have founded his monastic school in the 7th century. The present Neo-Gothic cathedral is made from Cork limestone and marble, as well as Bath stone. Consecrated in 1870, it contains more than 1,260 sculptures, a particularly ornate pulpit and even a 24-lb cannonball, a legacy of the Siege of Cork in 1690.

Un baudroie (ou un lotte), délice culinaire trouvé au marché anglais à Cork.

I am impressed by the monkfish monster, a culinary delight (English Market in Cork/Ireland).

Le jardin exotique de Roscoff présente environ 3500 espèces et variétés de plantes originaires de l’hémisphère sud. Flâner près du bassin peuplé de poissons rouges, de la fontaine nichée au creux des fougères arborescentes ou écouter le bruissement de l’eau près de la cascade, apportera une note de fraicheur à la visite. C’est surtout un monde de fleurs, de couleurs, de senteurs extraordinaires dans un environnement enchanteur. C’est aussi un dépaysement à chaque détour de chemin, qui ravira les amateurs de photos, les botanistes et amoureux des jardins.

Umpteenth times passed by and never noted: the blue bench! Passé x-fois sans jamais le remarquer : le banc bleu.

Big remains of the former cathedral St Pierre... (today Saint Malo). Aleth Cathedral was established in the 9th c., then destroyed by Norman invaders in the 10th c. but later rebuilt. The site of Aleth however was not a secure one and the town of Saint-Malo had begun to grow up on a far more defensible site on a rocky islet in the estuary. In 1146 the seat of the bishopric of Aleth was moved to Saint-Malo. Competition with the new town came to a head in 1255, when resentment in Aleth at the tax demands of St-Malo resulted in armed conflict. Aleth lost, and the walls, fortress and church were dismantled as punishment. The former cathedral ruins are still to be seen in the commune of Saint-Servan which occupies the area of the former Aleth. Grands restes de l'ancienne cathédrale St Pierre d'Aleth...
