The young man commented that no matter how small the village or town in France, there is always a "big ass" church - and one of the biggest, and newest was the Basilica in the town of Lisieux.
Even though it looks much older, it was only built in the 1930's and was built to honour St
Therese - who was born in the town. The mosaic ceiling was stunning.
It is built on the highest hill in the town with great views - as you can see - it is enormous!!!
The kids seemed to enjoy looking around church's and castles etc these days, and so we visited a fair few this time.

Well, that is a church and half! It looks amazing both inside and out - it's good that your young folk like visiting all these lovely places with you:)

Funnily enough when we used to go to Normandy and Britanny we always commented about the tiniest of villages and the size of their churches too! That one is a beauty. Just seen the picture of food on your previous post and come over all hungry.....

ReplyDeleteHello Diane
ReplyDeleteIve just spent a while enjoying your recent holiday pictures, ooh it looks wonderful!! I would love to camp in France!! I really think you ought to consider writing a camping book of your own, recipes, reviews, tips etc - my own personal favourite so far being the wine box idea, loved that!! :)
Lots of love, Julia x x x
