L'abbaye de Noirlac : le cloître

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.



I grabbed the aerial view of the abbey below off Google Maps.
You can read more about the history of Noirlac here.

    1. I 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...
