Abbaye cistercienne de Vernaison (Fondation du Patrimoine, Mission Bern)
Back in France after our trip to England, and as the beginning of our Summer is rather “thunderstormy”, and therefore not great for shooting outdoors, I will for a few days upload photographs from other recent projects undertaken on behalf of the Fondation du Patrimoine, one of the non-profit organizations I work for as a pro bono photographer.
The ruins of the Cistercian abbey of Vernaison that stand on the banks of River Isère, near the Alps in southeastern France, have been selected as a major restoration project by the so-called “Heritage Mission” of the Fondation. Although there is very little left of the abbey erected in the 1100s for nuns, the remains of the Romanesque apse, as well as some of the adjacent (and later) buildings are impressive.
The nave and apse of the abbey church.
