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.

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

Agree with Olivier; love the texture, too.

These are lovely and I can see by yesterday's photos the size they are. What a beautiful chapel. Jilly you've done a grand job capturing it.
