Monday Window: Sainte Radegonde
Posted on September 7, 2020
In the small village of Sainte Radegonde, people value their privacy, and protect it with the ubiquitous wooden shutters and lace curtains.

Monday Window: Bernard’s Barn
Posted on August 10, 2020
This window is in the back wall of our neighbour Bernard’s barn. Reflected in it are the camellias that festoon the garden fence of my mother’s little house.

Monday Window: Nantes Cathedral
Posted on July 20, 2020
Some readers might have heard about the fire that caused severe damage over the weekend to the cathedral in the city of Nantes. I’ve posted a couple of images of the stained glass windows in this enormous edifice in the past and here is another, rather poignant one.
As well as the arched window, this image shows the cathedral’s massive baroque organ, dating back about 400 years. According to reports, the organ was almost entirely destroyed by fire, although fortunatelly the cathedral as a whole did not suffer anything like the damage that befell Notre Dame in Paris.

Monday Window: Perigueux Cathedral
Posted on July 6, 2020
I missed out on posting a window last Monday, so to make up the shortfall here are two fine examples of stained glass, from the Cathedral of Saint Front, in Perigueux.

Monday Window: The church at Azay-Le-Ferron
Posted on June 22, 2020
Last week I featured a window at the chateau in Azay-Le-Ferron, and this week I’ve moved on to the church.
Stained glass is nowhere near as impressive when viewed from the outside, but it’s an interesting and attractive window nonetheless, and harmonises well with the church door, I think.

British readers of a certain age will understand the reference if I were to say that this week “we’re going through the…..round window”.
