Look at this fabulous Romanesque St. Nicholas Church that Niall and Antoinette posted about on their fabulous blog, Chez Charnizay, on June 16th of this year! It was in honor of the official reopening of the church after years of restoration work on its 12th c frescos.

Tavant is located in the beautiful Loire Valley region of France. It's about 40 kilometers from Tours and 250 kilometers from Paris. It's a very small village with a population of only 252 souls. But it is filled with much beauty and history. And for our part... this gorgeous church dedicated to St. Nicholas.

Thank you so much for keeping this lovely Blog going.
God bless.
Such lovely architecture and an exquisite garden. Have a lovely day!
What a gorgeous post my dear ANN!!!!! Any place in France is a wonder for me to behold, but the churches and cathedrals are monuments to history, art and faith...so glorious!
It is SO nice to see you! You were on a blog break, indeed! I have had to take two of them this summer due to having out of town guests and we had such fun.
School is back in session tomorrow for my husband and next week for the district I will be working for, as a substitute this year!
Happy Sunday my dear! Anita
Happy Sunday Ms. Ann and my BFFF Edward

Their is something so special about the Loire Valley. The famous cheateaus, churches and especially the small villages that time forgot. I was once told you could buy a decrepit chateau for only a few dollars but then had to spend millions to fix it up! I'm glad church repair is a loving community project...:)
I really like this church -- it's beautiful. I especially like that night image.
Congrats on your new devotional coming out soon! That has got to be a very exciting event!!!
God bless you and thank you for visiting me.
All the best,

Dear Ann,
gorgeous, detailed frescos! I can just imagine the hard work and dedication that went into restoring them. The Loire Valley is a beautiful area.
I haven't stopped by in a while so I went back through your older posts...so sorry to read about your son's kitty going to the rainbow bridge way to early :(
I hope all is well your end.
hugs,
Duni
What a beautiful church inside and out! The grounds set a lovely setting for such a beautiful place!
Interesting church --and I will check out the history on Chez's blog... I love reading about other churches---and always enjoy the St. Nicholas Churches throughout the world.
