St. Julian's Cathedral - Le Mans
In Odin’s End, Adle flees Fontevraud Abbey hoping to escape to her husband’s family in York.
She runs into trouble in Le Mans, when a crowd of people in the city witness her convulsion – and take her to St. Julian’s to burn her as a witch.
My trip took me to Le Mans – to St. Julian’s Cathedral and the heart of the medieval town, what is now called Plantagenet City.
It was a breathtaking wonder for me – and would have been for Adele, but this city meant trouble for her!
Take a look!

Wonderful to read such an enthusiastic, beautiful, interesting article about Le Mans! Thank you ! We welcome guests to our Château, 30 minutes East of Le Mans, and encourage them to visit the Plantagenet city, a real hidden gem which merits world fame (but the fact it is still unknown make it all the more pleasurable for our guests to visit).
Chateau de La Barre (www.chateaudelabarre.com) has been in our family for more than 600 years, and ancestors of ours went over to England in 1066 and are registered in the Domesday book. So your research is most interesting to us also!
Bravo!

Truly, I was amazed by the history, which seemed alive everywhere, the friendly people, who were amazed that I was dragging my camera with me everywhere, and the FOOD, which was enough that I wondered just WHY go back to the states, anyway?
So glad you stopped by – I look forward to visiting you SOON!
