A few days before we came back to the UK, we went out for lunch with our friends Frank and Christine at a little auberge in a nearby village, inhabitants approx. 150 or thereabouts. After the meal at the local auberge, which was delicious, we went for a little walk through the village and I managed a quick visit to the local church. The small roman church apparently was restored in the 16th and 19th Century. It was beautiful, totally unexpected in such a tiny village, and of course I had to take photos of it. They didn't turn out too well, because it was so dark inside, but I just can't bring myself to use flash, it is so harsh. I thoroughly enjoyed the quick visit, so I thought I'd share it with you -
Sorry about the poor quality of the photos, but I only had the phone and as I said, it was so dark inside even though it was a beautifully sunny day -

We walked past this lovely old house -
admired the colour and fabulous shape of this fire hydrant -
and puzzled over this weird little building -
I miss being in France. Our dogs miss mornings like these as well -

Hello darling friend Liz,
this tour I would have so enjoyed too. The church so very beautiful, also inside, and I love your photos, -all the gorgeous statues ,they are stunning, and also the church candlesticks and chandeliers , -must have been a very lovely tour.
Hugs, Dorthe
The old churches are beautiful and your pictures are also.
I went to Medjugorje in Bosnia also along the adriatic Sea and the churches are all so beautiful I would love to visit again
The little building is interesting also the fire hydrant, wouldn't count on it working?
Thank you so much for sharing all your lovely photos. We visited Italy and France and always stopped for visit to the churches. I love the decor and the architecture. Wish I had the money to use my retirement for just that purpose all over the world. This was a reminder to me to get to our little village 5 miles away and take photos before they dismantle it. Lots of chuches are being closed and people will have no choice but to be in a cluster of bigger towns, further away for only one mass. So sad but less people in rural areas, and hardly enough priests to cover the area. Beautiful dogs and a lovely photo.
Enjoy a lovely week
Thank you Liz for taking us to places we will probably never visit. It is a dream when bloggers share their trips/visits. I loved everything, even the odd fire hydrant.
Thank you for "bringing me back" to France! What a remarkable church. Heaven.
