Veules-les-Roses, Upper Normandy, France
Our cousin John Croteau who is a world traveler, had an opportunity to visit Veules-les-Roses in France. He was kind enough to share a large quantity
of pictures with me. I have complied a number of them in a slide show
format, to share with you. One of his comments;
I was staring at the same altar, the same pews,
and the same statues as Vincent, André, and Marguerite Metayer observed ten
generations and 350 years ago -- untouched!!!! Absolutely surreal!!!!
Until I can organize myself here, this is still in rough draft format.
I must go through all the photo's along with the pamphlets that John sent along
in order to provide you with the best possible explanation to what you are
viewing.
