Church on Sunday...Saint George's Chapel, Rochecorbon


On a recent trip over to Vouvray we decided to try our luck and see if the little Saint Georges Chapel in Rochcorbon was open...and this time it was.



Saint Georges used to be a small village in its own right but as its population diminished it was absorbed into the larger Rochecorbon (1808). As you drive along the banks of the Loire towards Rochecorbon from Tours keep you eyes open for a small (very) sign on your right ,first major road off to the left. 


For such a small place it is full interesting things..


Not least, its 12th century frescoes...


  depicting the last supper.



More pics...will add more detail when I add it to my 'churches'page on experienceloire.com
