It is an archaeologicl mystery set both in the Middle Ages and present-day France. Published in 2005, it was awarded "Best Read of the Year" by the British Book Awards. Much of the action is centered in the Languedoc region, specifically Carcassonne.<br /><br />Regarding a visit to Chartres, definitely go and spend the day. You can walk every street and see all the medieval churches. Let me know if you have questions. We had a delightful déjeuner off the beaten path, bien sûr!<br /><br />One of the links to a previous post refers to Malcolm Miller, a gentleman who has devoted his life to studying this Cathedral.<br /><br />As I mentioned in the post, there is much renovation currently and it is projected to be completed by 2013.<br /><br />Thank you for your comments. I will post another photo or two from here on future Sundays.<br /><br />Bises,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-72121490976701675662012-06-10T23:17:27.139-03:002012-06-10T23:17:27.139-03:00That really is a treasure.
