Walk to the Monastery of l'Annonciade - the Bas-Reliefs


Along the walls of the crypt we saw yesterday are ten bas-reliefs (you see one here) by Alain Bousquet. They represent the life of Mary.

Note: I've updated yesterday's commentary on the history of this crypt.

  2. Beautiful art.
    Lovingly restored. But somehow I prefer crypts left in their old mysterious state.
