The population was outraged. The revolt of the bonnets rouges (red cap) known as well under the name "the revolt of stamped paper" starts and was one of the most bloody of Brittany's history. The repression was cruel and brutal. All the mass executions and hangings where not counted any more. One of the centers of the mutiny was in Kergloff, just a little bit south of Morlaix where our Jean Rioux passed his youth.

Cairn of Barnenez in the village of Pluezoc'h

Jean Rioux went as well to Dourduff which is less than an hour of walk from Ploujean. Douduff is a magical spot where you should not miss have a drink on the pavement of the only bistro and observe the fishermen and the cultivators of oysters. If you go there in June you can enjoy the sun as late as 11 PM with a few tourists only. The sun goes down much later than in Quebec. Close from Douduff Jean Rioux could admire the Cairns of Barnenez in the small village of Pluezoch'h. Probably close to these prehistorically grave monuments with its magnificent  view on the bay of Morlaix watching the sailing-ships passing he thought about leave France and immigrate to New France hoping to have a better future. There was a second Cairn which Jean could see, but unfortunately an unscrupulous entrepreneur used it in the 1960th as a stone-pit.
