Built around Year 1000, the village cemetery surrounded it, as was customary for many centuries. It was considered holy ground just like the church itself. For reasons linked to public hygiene and health, regulations in France moved cemeteries to the periphery of towns and villages, and so this one was decommissioned at some point, like most of them (but not all, curiously). I don’t know about the law in other countries, but I have seen many such cemeteries in the UK and even in New England (heck, there is even one in New York City!) that still seem to receive remains of those who passed away.Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, FTZ II adapter.

This is the transept and the narrow southern aisle of the Saint-Trophime cathedral in the city of Arles (southern France). I am sorry for the blown-out portion where the light from the window strikes the opposite pillar, I wasn’t watchful enough and I overexposed that part beyond any recovery. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite19" alt=":sick:" title="Sick    :sick:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":sick:" />Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, FTZ II adapter.
