Fontenay Abbey (part 2) - May 2011

The stairs from the Dormitory, which lead directly into the Church. No mistaking about what the center of life was in the Cistercian order.

The Dormitory












One can almost still hear the shuffle of sandal-clad feet along the worn stones of the cloister walkways.









The Abbey workshop and great forge.
















 
If you look closely, they are smiling.
