The court of the cloyster Look at this typical cystercian style. |
|  | The church (out door) Very simple as it is regular for a cystercian monk. |
The church (in door) It was transformed into a wine cellar.
Each arch has its own cask built at it size.
They are still used from time to time.
The wine is average and expensive (on my advice) | | |
| Fountain washbasin of Valmagne Abbey |
| | Fountain washbasin This fountain was used by the monks to wash their hands before the mass.
The pipes are still in order for centuries.
There are only 2 fountains like this one in France. |
Flowered tree Only my wife can name this tree which is in the court of the cloyster. | | | Flowered tree (Valmagne Abbey) |
|
| | The steaple of the abbey |
Saint Blaise Garden The medieval garden of the Abbey : kitchen garden and medicine plants (remember Cadfael). | | |

Thank you for sharing great photos/tips and especially your lovely family. Will return here often. Ciao, Carol | pattiwayfarer Sat Feb 11, 2006 18:05 UTC
P.S. I saw Bouzigue in 1992 and would go back in a heartbeat.Sitting on the edge of the etang with a plate of oysters and a bottle of white wine is divine. | tpal Sat Apr 30, 2005 19:03 UTC
Carol and I are still trying to settle on a region of France to visit for 7-10 days next year. The area you describe around St. Guilhen de Desert sounds like a real possibility. Thanks for the tour...Tom | dr.firas Sat Jun 19, 2004 18:05 UTC
Maybe next year I shall see it in La belle France :-) Merci beaucoup Lionel :-) |
