Just before sunrise … dawn paints the sky apricot over calm waters, moored fishing boats and moist mudflats on the River Étel estuary in south Morbihan, Brittany, France. The Île de Saint-Cado, a circular islet linked to the shore by a causeway, was the 6th century AD home of the Welsh early Christian missionary, Saint Cado or Cadoc the Wise, commemorated in the 12th century by a Romanesque church.
Saint-Cado, Morbihan, Brittany, France: the rising sun warms the sky over the River Étel estuary to a deep apricot hue, as a few raindrops dimple the placid water amid mudflats and small open fishing boats moored near the slim causeway linking a circular islet, the Île de Saint-Cado, to the shore. On the island, the picturesque hamlet of Saint-Cado has ancient cottages, home to many generations of fishermen, and a 12th century medieval church built in the Romanesque architectural style. The Chapelle Saint-Cado de Belz is dedicated to the early Christian missionary and Welsh Celtic saint variously known as Saint Cado, St. Cadoc the Wise, St Cadog or Cadocus, who lived here for a time in the 6th century AD.
