It's a bit of an ironic tragedy that France is replete with the most beautiful churches because of its age and the strong presence that the Catholic Church used to have in France, but very few of the French are religious or attend church. I went to a small town yesterday, Martel, and sat inside the church for a few minutes. There was music playing softly in the background and it was just wonderful, a refuge of tranquility even within a very sleepy town. It was otherworldly and quite medieval. It's sad that it was also noticeably empty.
I love your little vignettes and snapshots of your everyday life in France! Keep writing them! :)
