Church on Sunday...Saint-Nicolas Saumur



This week we head over to Saumur and the 12th century church of Saint-Nicolas. 












It is the side chapels that again feature the mosaics with collages featuring a variety of religious events including the 'flight into Egypt' and the 'Assumption'.














 ...including the massive supporting pillars







 What I have come to love about many French churches is their ability to give little clue externally to the pleasures that await you inside...like Saint-Nicolas.
