This is my contribution to the weekly Thursday Doors challenge, hosted by Dan Antion over at No Facilities blog.
~~
For the month of July, during a stay in central France, my husband and I took many walks through the countryside of Villerest. Today, I am featuring one of them and what we came across.
During our walk, we found a lovely chapel. The Chapelle Saint-Sulpice de Villerest was built in the twelfth century, reusing materials from a Gallo-Roman villa. It is the oldest church in the territory.
In 2014, the chapel was listed as a Historic Monument. In June 2017, a plaque was affixed to the entrance of the Chapel commemorating this.
For my previous three posts from Villerest, visit here, here, or here. To see more contributions to Thursday Doors, from around the globe, visit Dan’s.
Thank you for stopping by and happy weekend!

These are wonderful doors Brenda. I like the first two. I think they show doors with a purpose. Made for a reason, not so much for aesthetic purposes. I love that stone church.

I can almost hear the craftsmen as they layered the mortar and the stones. I loved this- and that shade of green!

I often do the same, stop and imagine the stories the doors and walls could tell. I’m very glad you enjoyed, Violet! 🙂
