Rose window in the Eglise St Pierre, Auvillar, France – September 2012
Auvillar is a Mediaeval village on the banks of the Garonne and has been named one of the most beautiful vilages in France. It is a stop for pilgrims walking the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimmage route and home to the 11th Century Eglise Saint-Pierre. This is just one of the impressive church’s many spectacular stained glass windows.

Used to love exploring old churches in my long ago European travels. Always so many unexpected pieces of intricate stone-carving, paintings or windows like this.
Beautiful window!
Cheers,
