I take you again to my memorable Seine et Marne and one its precious medieval townofProvins. Another precious town visited long ago with my dear late wife Martine , and need to be back for the memories when possible. I am glad found me this newer pictures in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, The town of course is in the Île de France region of my belle France. Therefore, here is my take on the Church Sainte Croix of Provins !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The Church Sainte Croix or Holy Cross, located at 12 Rue Sainte-Croix in the lower town of Provins, owes its name to a fragment of the True Cross that Thibaud IV of Champagne is said to have brought back from Jerusalem. It was built between the 12C and 16C. After several decades of closure, the nave and aisles of the Church of the Holy Cross has reopened to the public.
The restoration of its nave and aisles is the first major step in a complete restoration that will continue from this autumn until 2029 in the transept, the bell tower, and the choir. The public already has the opportunity to discover or rediscover this Benedictine priory church, which became one of the most important parishes of Provins in the Middle Ages.
There you go folks, another dandy spot in my memorable Seine et Marne. This one is still under construction but can be visited and worth the detour, me think in the beautiful medieval town of Provins. Again, hope you enjoy the post on the Church Sainte Croix of Provins !! as I.
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!
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
