Moist mudflats and moored fishing boats at dawn in the tidal waters of the River Étel estuary in south Morbihan, Brittany, France. The Île de Saint-Cado, a circular islet linked to the shore by a nearby causeway, was the 6th century AD home of the Welsh early Christian missionary, Saint Cado or Cadoc the Wise, commemorated here in the 12th century by a Romanesque church.
Saint-Cado, Morbihan, Brittany, France: wet mudflats reflect the apricot glow of dawn while small open fishing boats with outboard motors bob in the tidal waters of the River Étel estuary near the 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.
