Continuing from my previous post in Tonnerre, the afternoon was spent by taking a detour walk to discover the Church of Saint Peter. For historical details, please click on this link . It was a great detour, mostly uphill but grateful to be walking in the shade. It would be nicer if there were just a whisper of wind but then, I was just being fussy.
Upon reaching the church, the panoramic view of the town and the church entrance
The church was slated for renovation and chairs were being stacked up, etc … but there reigned a calm and sereine atmosphere. The statues were beautiful and elegant and not at all gaudy
Did I mentioned about the stained windows? I marveled at the workmanship of the craftsmen /monks/ old masters. They were magnifique
These ones – each window pane – showed the life of Saint Peter
Having appeased my curiosity, it was time to leave the Church of Saint Peter and head back to town
Looks great, so much art. Very much like how you designed this post.
Thanks Peter. Glad you like the way the post was designed. I won’t be doing that often as it take up a lot of time 🙂
Nancy the way you have displayed the beauty of this church is outstanding. Absolutely love the light in the last photo but then again every one of the photos in this series are beautiful. Number three triptych works perfectly, definitly one to print and hang on the wall. Always enjoy looking at your photos.
The last photo is also my favorite! Thanks, Camellia.
What a Beautiful Building , you photographed it well, The Church had a hard start in the beginning burning several times, thanks for sharing this tour of this beautiful church and sharing the history Well done Nancy
It’s crazy, isn’t it – the church being burnt down so many time? Thanks Thomas for your comment.
Beautiful post, love the layout as well.
Thanks you very much, Abigail
