This is Saint Lupien !!

Posted in France

I came to the village of Saint Lupien on my road warrior trails east of my belle France, This is country France at its best and worth the detour me think, I found older pictures in my cd rom vault and they should be in my blog for you and me, Therefore, here is my rendition to this is Saint Lupien !! Hope you enjoy the post as I

The village of Saint-Lupien is located in the department of Aube No. 10 in the Grand Est region of my belle France. The village is made up of two main parallel streets which border the two banks of the Orvin river. Before Saint-Lupien, the village was called Somme-Fontaine. Its current name comes from Saint Lupien who passes for having been buried in the church. From the 12C to the 14C, the lordship belonged to the trays; In 1377, Charles V gave it to the cathedral chapter in Sens, This is a very small village no City hall but an office is at 19 rue de la Mairie, the village only has about 231 inhabitants, It is located at 31 km fromTroyes ,83 km from Fontainebleau, 101 km from Meaux, 140 km from Versailles, and 549 km from my current home, I came here while visiting family near Meaux mostly on the D15 road towards Nogent sur Seine taking the D54 to connect with the D23 to the village and later on the autoroute A5 in my road warrior trails.

The monument that made me stop here was the Church,Info from the panel and brochures in the church as very little else on it, The Church Saint Lupien was part of the deanery of Marigny and the Grand-Archidiaconé until the 18C before being incorporated into the archpriest of Troyes. Its construction spanned from the 13C to the 16C,done on a Latin cross plane and it was entirely vaulted. A span of the transept is from the 12C. A sarcophagus dating from the High Middle Ages passes to be the tomb of Saint Lupien. It, also, has the arm of Saint Lupien, embedded in wood covered with a silver leaf, Also, a wall painting covered with a brush and a painting of the 16C. The northern transept was demolished in 1810 .;the arm of the double transept; 2 nerfs; bell at the crossroads of the transept. . The church was rebuilt around 1500. From the Romanesque church were preserved the target tower and the arms of the transept. Restorations were undertaken in the 1760s. Around 1808, the church threatening ruin, the whole north side was demolished (chapel, transept and collateral). Work was carried out in the second half of the 19C. Construction of a new sacristy in 1877, Small but a nice stop indeed.

Other thing to see here me think is the Grand-Cour, it was erected in fief on March 18, 1648 for Charles de Beruryer, lord of Bussy-Saint-Georges, by the chapter of Sens. It consisted of 105 arpents of land and a square building. Castle with four towers, a central courtyard and a loft etc. Very little left of it.

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.
