After viewing the castle, we walked up hill to the old city, looked around, saw the big church, then walked back down to the Medieval village via the city garden.
 |
| Up in the town now, admiring pretty buildings |
 |
| Clock towers |
 |
| Statues of famous generals who are buried in Russia now |
 |
| Interesting signs |
 |
Carefully watched by a 5 year-old boy with
binoculars |
 |
Our next stop was the St. Leonard's parish
church; 14th mostly |
 |
| Flamboyant on the south side |
 |
| Less on the north |
 |
| Thus inside |
 |
But with this astonishing detail: a remnant of the 12th century
windows from St. Denis' abbatiale church in Paris, the first Gothic
structure, saved from the Revolution |
 |
We were now on the city walk, which is graced by the literary
notes of great authors about the town; as are so many French
city walks |
 |
| Thus, and many more |
 |
The walk led through the city garden, down the slope to the
Medieval village |
 |
| Panoramic view |
 |
Down concrete stairs, from the 19th century, as
we saw in Paris |
 |
| A Breton shoe shows the way |
 |
| Nice garden (more in a subsequent post) |
 |
| Now in the so-called Medieval village |

I thought Breton shoes were wooden clogs like the little Dutch boy wore.
The stained glass window in the church is spectacular.
