Romanesque art in the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay

[ French version ] [ source ] An album written by Marie Lebert with photographs by Claude Rayon and Alain Dermigny. In this album, there are no monuments described in most tourist guides. These twelve Romanesque churches are little known. They were built by villagers in the 11th and 12th centuries with local stones (schist and granite) along the roads used by pilgrims to reach the Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey. From north to south, these churches are the churches of Saint-Martin-le-Vieux, Bréville, Yquelon, Saint-Pair-sur-Mer, Angey, Saint-Jean-le-Thomas, Dragey, Genêts, Saint-Léonard-de-Vains, Saint-Loup and Saint-Quentin-sur-le-Homme, without forgetting a beautiful Romanesque gate in Sartilly.
