サン・アンドレ・エ・アペルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

While walking the GR6 towards Fonmartin, I suddenly found myself in front of this robust castle. No idea what it is used for, there was no information included. Unfortunately, Komoot puts it completely in the wrong place. It is located in the village of Gageac.

The Notre-Dame-de-l’Epinette church in Libourne owes its name to the chapel it replaces, intended to house a thorn from Christ’s crown. At the request of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a chapel outside the walls was built in Libourne in the 13th century. We plan to exhibit a Holy Thorn there which would have been acquired by Charlemagne. The building was extensively altered over time, particularly in the 19th century. Today it is a vast neo-Gothic style church. It has a high bell tower, topped with a 71-meter stone spire, rebuilt in 1986.

Stately building. Right in the center

Church of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande. Pretty stained glass
