Here's one more slideshow and one last post about the Abbaye de Noirlac, near Bourges.
The heart of the abbey is its cloister, which is surrounded by its church,
the monks' quarters, the refectory, and abbey's lay brothers' quarters.

As usual, excellent slideshow. The linked article, in French, is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI also found this publication about Noirlac on the culture.gouv.fr web site. On the page I'm linking to, there's a link to a PDF file of the whole booklet. I haven't read it all yet but it's got great photos...
DeleteBeautiful shots of a beautiful place. Thank you.
DeleteThis publication is very interesting. I downloaded the PDF. Just like you, I didn’t read it all yet, but I intend to do it as soon as I can find out where the downloaded PDF is!
DeleteDoesn't you iPad have a Downloads folder on it? The PDG should be in there.
DeleteThe arial view is interesting.
