Quimper and the Cathedral

Yesterday was an exciting day – our friends Kris and Jayne tied the knot at Cathédrale Saint-Corentin de Quimper.  This Cathedral was founded in 1239 and is quite an imposing site, you can see it’s steeples from across the city and it really leaves you speechless when you enter inside it.  

The service was beautiful, the bride – stunning, and the attendants gorgeous and dapper.  Thankfully for us the majority of the service was in English so we could follow along, I know Gemma and James were thankful for that!

After the ceremony (and a quick stop for a ride on the Carousal in the square next to the cathedral, we drove out to the reception which was held at Manoir Kerouzein a historic house located on the banks of the Odet river.  The building itself was gorgeous and the gardens immense and James and Gemma had a blast running about on the grounds with the other children.

Tomorrow sees us flying back to London from Nantes . . . thanks again to the French Rail strike.
