What can I say about this abbey? Magnificent Cotentin abbey in a rural setting conducive to inner rest. Ideal for revising your competitions!!! Once again a big thank you for the welcome of the monks and the exquisite cuisine of Brother Pierre!

Mass at the abbey on this feast of the assumption with collective prayer led by the monks. On site, after a visit to the La Trappe shop, tasting of its fine and tasty charcuterie products; she deserves a gold medal at the annual Grand Concours Agricole in Paris!

Beautiful place very peaceful. Too bad the store is only open on weekends. We could not taste the products made by the monks.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
