Sunset at L'Église Haute

This is a photograph of L'Église Haute (L'Église Saint-Michel) at Saint-Michel l'Observatoire, France, in the setting sun taken one December evening.

 

The founding of the site in the 12th century is attributed to the Benedictine monks of St-André de Villeneuve-les-Avignon. Since then, the church and the surrounding buildings have been adapted and rebuilt repeatedly. The principal periods of construction were the 12th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The church was classed as an historic monument in 1942.
