サン＝オーバン＝デ＝ボア周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Each of these crosses, which the hiker encounters, clearly visible in the fields or—as here—in the shade of the trees, is a symbol of remembrance of the crucifixion, but also of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "With us on earth, there is His memory, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward our homeland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the order and Doctor of the Church)

pleasant hike

A magnificent, symmetrically laid out town hall. When we visited, it was decorated with flags to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation. Touchingly, it was also decorated with the West German flag on this occasion. Living neighborliness in 21st century Europe.

Finally, vacation! The whole family is finally setting off for Brittany. After 700 km, we need a break. The motorway service station is completely overcrowded, so we just drive off. By chance, we end up in Villedieu-les-Poêles-Rouffigny, a small, historic town in Normandy. The large town square is closed off; the 80th anniversary of the liberation is being celebrated. And amazingly, the black, red and gold German flag is hanging on the town hall. We sit down in a cafe on the town square and drink a Coke. Next to us, the golden statue of the Republic with a Phrygian cap gleams from a high column erected in 1889 to mark the 100th anniversary of the revolution. Opposite, the Gothic tower of the church towers over the old stone houses; gargoyles, which fortunately have nothing to do today, look down from high roofs, including a dog-like one with funny floppy ears. Next to it is a boulangerie, which is chosen to replenish the provisions and to check the usability of the school French. The result is a taste experience: wonderfully crispy baguette, wonderful, finely wrapped croissants and a dark bread with a strong, crunchy crust, in which nuts and raisins are baked. The latter definitely justifies a detour to this wonderful bakery. Another quick look into the church: an early Gothic-looking room with small windows, round columns and a heavy vault. We are delighted to see and meet an exceptionally cheerful Saint Anthony with a happy baby Jesus in his arms. Another short stroll through the beautiful, flower-adorned streets, then we continue our journey, rested.
