After spending some time in Christelle’s class in Cunault we drove back to Saumur along the D751. Christelle’s school is part of a “group scolaire”, a group of three schools in adjoining villages each serving different levels of students. We stopped in one of these villages on the way back to Saumur.
The last time we came to visit Trèves it was pouring down rain and the doors of the church were shut up tight. This time the sun was shining and the doors were open.
St. Aubin’s Church is very definitely Gothic but it has many touches of the Romanesque including the baptismal font with four very Celticy looking figures.
While we were there a French couple came in to look around. I asked the woman where she was from and she said Normandy. I told her I was from Ireland. Her reply was: “Yeah, we conquered you people”.

amazing building. Reynaldo would make a good priest. ;-P the stone colors are awesome.
The tuffeau stone is amazing - it reflects pinks and yellows and oranges as the different light hits it throughout the day.
