Very beautiful church with an architectural style a little different from what we are used to seeing. There is also a lovely fresco inside which depicts ancient inhabitants. Otherwise the surroundings of the church are not bad either with beautiful cypresses and a work of art further down. To pray the place is very quiet, there are churches where this is unfortunately no longer the case. In short, a beautiful monument to be appreciated in all its splendor.

Quite peculiar building because it perfectly preserves its wooden roof. The frescoes and details of its interior draw your attention, transporting you to medieval times.

Very nice little Catholic church, we went to visit it at the end of the day and the stained glass windows made the atmosphere inside very calm. From the outside, the church is also very beautiful, however I find that the town hall could highlight it even more.

Very beautiful church located in the town of Clisson in Loire-Atlantique. This building in the center of the town is really in its place in this fortified place. The interior is just very beautiful, the nave beautifully painted, and the framework of the ceiling is really very well worked. This is a place you have to come and visit if you are in the area. The people of this city are lucky to have a beautiful religious building to meditate.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
