He painted successively at Nice, Toulon, and Aix, visited Genoa and Turin, and was sent by the Prince of Carignano, son-in-law of the Duke of Morbihan in Brittany; at the mouth of a tributary of the Gulf of Morbihan; 3 miles from the sea. The cathedral (13th to 15th centuries) is the most important edifice; but the town possesses also an old House of Parliament and many carved houses, and a rich museum of Celtic antiquities. Manufactures of woolens and ropes and some shipbuilding are carried on; and the small port has some trade. Pop. about 20,000.
