Sunday, June 23rd


Antheaume, Guyonne, Samantha and Ysoie behind the collegiate church Notre-Dame-en-Vaux




Built from the 12th to the 15th centuries, the collegiate church is located on the bank of the Mau, a little river that runs through Châlons en Champagne.




The 7-span nave has 4 levels: large arcadaes, tribunes, a blind story and high windows.




The choir and the ambulatory were built during the Gothic period (1170-1210)
The chevet opens upon 3 levels. Large intermittent windows, with beautiful stained-glasses, contribute extensively to this overall impression of lightness.


Devotions


The weather is cold, cloudy and ... rainy ! Fabulous !
So girls make watercolour.


Now, Samantha and Cyprille don't need anyone to understand themselves: they use the translator of the i-pad Samantha!
