They remind me of a stay I made in the monastery guesthouse in St-Benoit-sur-Loire a few years back.<BR/><BR/>The June 6, 2005 posting on my blog narrates some of that visit. (My earlier comment had incorrectly given June 13 as the date of the post.)<BR/><BR/>I hope to read more of your earlier posts and look forward to catching up on your story.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283733112012909334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1160335490781871412006-10-08T21:24:00.000+02:002006-10-08T21:24:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283733112012909334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1159637110382742492006-09-30T19:25:00.000+02:002006-09-30T19:25:00.000+02:00Ginny, the more I read about St-Benoît after seein...Ginny, the more I read about St-Benoît after seeing it, the more interesting it was. I want to go back in a year or two to see if the restoration work is finished. You know, I've been to Chartres several times but I've never seen the labyrinth. It's only open to public a day or two a week, I believe.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1159627953454233622006-09-30T16:52:00.000+02:002006-09-30T16:52:00.000+02:00Thanks for the good history lesson today, Ken, tou...Thanks for the good history lesson today, Ken, tour of St-Benoit-sur-Loire, and glorious photos. That floor is indeed something else. Thank goodness it wasn't sold off or melted down!<BR/><BR/>It reminds me of something that happened when I visited Chartres on my only visit to France many years ago. We were excited and prepared to see the famous labyrinth, only to find it covered with folding chairs set up for some kind of talk at the time of our visit. I couldn't believe it. At least they didn't have curtains draped over the rose window!<BR/><BR/>Of course, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco has a version of that famous labyrinth. Time for a visit perhaps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
