La chapelle de St-Nicodème

La chapelle de St-Nicodème, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

From the road, all you can see of the chapel of St Nicodème is the spire.

A spire in a field!

In fact it is built low in a hollow, and has four 'fontaines', holy wells.

Inside it is extraordinarily damp. The stone floor is wet, and there is

green mould part way up the walls.

Back outside on a warm sunny September day, I had the smell of the dampness

in my nostrils for quite a while.

I wonder what it's like in Winter. Good for a bit of penitence, I'd say.
