Notes: "Vceux a L'Autel Notre-Dame de la Clarte", was painted by Edouard Leon Cortes, circa 1915. The painting is signed lower right, Edouard Cortes. This is an intimate scene of two local women praying, in a little chapel in the heart of the "Pink Granite Coast" (Côte de Granit Rose). Perros-Guirec offers an exceptionally beautiful protected natural site, an unusual, grandiose landscape where both land and sea are strewn with the amazing shapes of pink granite rocks carved by the wind and waves over the millennia.
