Each year there is a pilgrimage from one of the cathedral cities in Brittany to another. This celebrates the founding saints of the Breton religous calender. The sight of hundreds of people of all ages and social conditions moving in silence or singing hymns with their parish banners flying in the wind is unusual these days but this 'protest' is happy peaceful and colourful. The Impressionists liked to paint the 'Breton pardons' and did it much bette than I but my humble effort which you see here shows the arrival at Saint-Malo of this manifestation last summer. I hope you like it.
