Heat and architecture.

Hello Friends !
When it’s so hot đŸ„” (around 35C today) the hottest day of the week a place to be cool is a cathedral or a church !
I remember staying in Germany during the Summer holidays and visiting Koln (Cologne) it was so hot that I stayed most of the afternoon in the beautiful cathedral.

The first four pictures are from an Abbey close to us.
Very big and beautiful with a big garden around.




Some details of our Court of justice


Our Gros Horloge ( our big clock street)



Typical Normand houses
Rouen Cathedral 
This is from another church in Louviers such as beautiful piece of art!

And finally I found this picture on facebook. A farmer had the idea to protect his cows from the heat, a good idea!
This afternoon I unfortunately have to go out to have a foot X ray before the MIR . It is very painful for me to walk for the moment and I will have no choice but to use a wheelchair for long walks when our son will arrive soon. I will get it on Saturday. Better a wheelchair than stay inside! We will see what’s wrong  and hope my problem can be solved…
Thank you for coming.

  2. It's hot here too. I cannot imagine how the cows feel in this heat!

    The architecture is amazing. I always wonder how they built those things so long ago.

  3. I love your photos, Catherine! The architecture is captivating and amazing! I hope your pain subsides, I will keep you in my thoughts.
    I love cows and the heat we get here in Montreal with the humidity is very dangerous for people and animals.

  4. I agree. Better to join in in a wheelchair than miss the walk. I hope the X-ray shows why your foot is causing a problem.

  5. Sorry to hear about your painful foot. I hope you get an answer soon.
    I like the cow shelter!
    Old stone cathedrals are lovely cool in summer but hard to warm up in winter.
