Fontaine Saint-Gildas submitted by ogham : Site in Bretagne:Morbihan (56) France The fountain runs under the chapel. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The site is located by the side of the Nantes-Brest canal in the river Blavet section. There is a little car park on the access road to the site and for those who are interested the chapel is open in July and August.

The fountain runs under the chapel. The latter is built on the side of a rock in front of the cave regarded as the hermitage of St. Gildas in the sixth century.
