Sunday Field Trip: Beauvais, France

Inspired by being on Terry Odell’s blog this week, in her weekly column, Friday Field Trip, I’d like to take us a field trip to France, specifically Beauvais, France, which is the setting of one of my stories. Hope you enjoy it!

The Stormy Setting Sun in Beauvais

The above photo was taking from my hotel room, which was right across from city hall.

The Garden at the back of Cathedral St. Pierre

I was so surprised to stumble upon this luscious fall garden, and even saw and tasted {yum!} some kale. (And the French say they don’t know what kale is. What’s up with that?)

***

Cathedral St. Pierre in Beauvais, France

Yes, this cathedral is supposed to have the tallest spire in all of Europe.

***

A window holder in Beauvais, France, right next to Cathedral St. Pierre

I’d never seen anything like this. Have you?

***

Some whimsy and public art at the manor at Beauvais, St. Pierre

I love the French appreciation for art in the public place.

Enjoy more photos from my trip to France last fall on Terry’s site.
