The Church Saint Jacques of of Dieppe !!!

Posted in Europe, France

Yes how about Dieppe in Normandy region of my belle France! Well looking over older posts in my blog I realise not written if not all or hardly anything on these monuments! Well I need to bring my blog to full bloom and have recorded more of my wonderful travel memories. Let me tell you the Church Saint Jacques of of Dieppe !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

There is the wonderful Church of Saint-Jacques (St James 16C) flamboyant and renaissance style and a great neighborhood we like . The initial Church was started in the 12C and name the parish Church in 1282 by the bishop of Rouen Guillaume de Flavacourt. The Church of St James (St Jacques) built from the 12C to the 16C! is in the Flamboyant and Renaissance styles. The north and south transepts date back to the second half of the 12C. The choir, the nave, and the aisles date from the 13C, except for the vaults and the triforium of the nave which dates from the 14th century. The great portal was also built in the 14C. In the 15C, the tower and chapels were erected on either side of the main nave of the choir, except for two of them which were part of the original plan of the church.

Inside see the Chapelle du trésors (treasury chapel)  , showing the countries and towns discovered by the Dieppois people. At the request of Jehan Ango, patron of the church in the 16C, the artist represented different scenes from the life of the natives: a procession of festivals and dances, warlike episodes, which many archaeologists and scholars came to observe . The Church St James was even visited by Victor Hugo in 1837.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
