Although there are 2 concerts a week at Paimpont every week in Summer months, concerts in the deep mid-Winter have, until recently, been unknown. Last Christmas Paimpont hosted its first Winter concert: artiste Cécile Corbel + her backing group. Today was the second: artiste Gwennyn + 3 musicians. We were invited by La Porte des Secrets (Office de Tourisme) and (again) had reserved front row seats. As R becomes more and more the 'requested photographer' for the Commune, such invitations are the quid pro quo. No complaints. It's a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this small community in rural Brittany with such widespread popularity and tourist potential.
This shot was taken looking back into the Abbey as full house audience bought CDs whilst others made their way into the Place. There are free carousel rides for children, mulled wine etc. on sale in Paimpont's bars. Come now!
