[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824829, member: 53455"] Thanks, Paul! [B]A fortified priory (2021)[/B] If you think this looks more like a castle than a church, I can’t fault you. This is the village of Champdieu (literally, “God’s Field”) in the small province of Forez, on the eastern edge of Auvergne (all of that is more or less in the center of France, roughly).
