Un joli point de vue sur cette austère abbaye, où la lumière met bien en valeur le relief des décorations plutôt strictes (rosace et murs)..........magnifique photo, Jean-Claude !

  1. Amazing! My God. I love the angles of this structure you captured with your perspective. There are so many interesting features to this construction. I would love to run my hands along the weather-worn blocks. Even the roof looks like it's stone. Especially the back part above the round windows. Super awesome picture, JC!

I do not know if this roof is in slates (rather fine stones) or "lauzes" (another kind of stones, thicker). But in any case, there are stones!

It is in such great condition! I wonder if much restoration was needed. Great catch!

Indeed, there was need of restorations ... During the French Revolution, parts of the buildings were used as a farm ... The last restoration was done in the 20th century!

Une belle trouvaille cousin Abbey...en français ?? monastère ou autre nom ?

En français: abbaye... presque pareil! :-) C'est un monastère dirigé par un abbée ou une abbesse.

It I very interesting that in these ages the churches did rise in France. Like they always told that the cup of live was hidden in your country. Great shot!

That must have taken some time to build, some of those blocks look heavy. Was the stone quarried locally or carted in?

With this image, I am drawn into more than I can express... of the architecture, designs, history of the people who had a vision which became reality... and I am truly astounded that these structures have been preserved for our enjoyment and appreciation.

Amazing structure and the age is remarkable to me, around here the California Missions that date back the the 1700's. The Abby was already old when they were being built!!! Great capture my friend!!!
