Christine took me to a nearby castle named
Roche-Jagu, high above the River Trieux on the edge of a vast wooded domain.
This castle, which dates from 1405, is owned and managed by the regional council of the Côtes d'Armor, which has perfectly restored the ancient edifice and planted flowers and vegetation.
At present, the castle houses an exhibition of the paintings of
Maurice Denis [1870-1943], who lived not far away, in Perros-Guirec.
The global effect of the castle, the paintings, the gardens, the river and the surrounding landscape is superb. In the midst of the history, the culture and the sheer beauty, there's a huge accent, too, on ecology. I was overwhelmed by the splendor of the place.
