Check out the picture of the day which has been taken by flickr user David Giral. The shot is taken in a church in Locronan and here is some info:

From Wikipedia
Locronan is a small town built at the foot of a hill, and was granted town status in 1505 by Anne of Brittany, who went there on a pilgrimage.

Since the 15th century, hemp has been blossoming in Locronan's surroundings. This led to a hemp industry in the town at the time, making the town quite prosperous. Locronan's hemp used to be shipped around the world. It was at this time that the Saint Ronan church was built as well as the small chapel of Penity.
