I've mentioned a few times that Ken and I were heading toward the cathedral on our walk through central Angloulême. After leaving the Carnot monument, we caught a glimpse of it: the dome over the transept and the bell tower poking up above the neighborhood.
Looking up the Rempart Desaix toward the cathedral.
The Cathédrale Saint-Pierre d'Angoulême, built in the romanesque style, was completed in the twelfth century. The bell tower was completely reconstructed in the nineteenth century. All according to Wikipedia.
This glimpse is so inviting. I'd love to be walking there.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you two enjoyed this getaway, despite the unexpected issues that popped up.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely place to stroll.

ps For some reason I’m not able to comment on Ken’s blog.
Betty Ann, that happened to me. I had to download Google Chrome- I already had google mail.
Deletemitch, it helped that the weather was great.
ReplyDeletejudy, we did, overall. The trip home was a bit nerve-wracking, but we made it.
bettyann, this commenting thing is a real pain. I couldn't comment on my own blog for a while.
I’ve always used Google Chrome to read Ken’s and Walt’s blogs. Hmmmm….. don’t know what’s going on.
