More here:Vezelay, France - There are many reasons to visit the Basilica of Saint Magdalene in France's Bourgogne region. Some come for the classic architecture while others want to listen to hymns. But others come for something entirely different.
MM is quite a common dedication, in France notably the Madeleine in Paris that the metro station is named after, plus of course the basilica in St Maximin.Paulus said:I believe the cathedral in Vezelay is the only church dedicated to Maria Magdalena
Peter Robins said:Very interesting, Paulus. I see from Geoportail that there is a gite equestre nearby.
Peter Robins said:German (and Dutch!) herberge, originally 'heer-berge', army shelter. (Do you have 'bergen' in modern Dutch?)
Paulus said:"Bergen" is the plural of "berg" which means "mountain, hill "
jabri said:Paulus,
Van harte gefeliciteerd met de aankoop van je huis op de route van Vezelay naar Le Puy! Ik hoop er nog eens meer van te horen!
