For our holidays, we went on a pilgrimage in Anjou (France) were many of my ancestors lived a long time ago.

I am here standing before the gate of La Chartreuse du Liget.

An ancestor of mine built this monastery to atone for an important sin.
Simple minds. It was indeed a very long time ago.





We had a very young guide for the occasion. It was cute to hear the story of my forefathers narrated in such a fresh and naïve way.





This stone barrel has a nice story . It was built to shelter the soul of a monk that appreciated wine a little too much.

The waters of this original fountain are supposed to be the tears of this poor soul flowing from it continuously.





La Courroierie.





The monk's table, huge an indestructible !





The nearby town of Montrésor and it's castle.





This time, my kilt-making wife Lady Chrystel herself was my lovely guide !





I suggest we follow her...






more to come...


Best,

Robert
