About This Book
A twelve-stop itinerary surveys modest Romanesque parish churches in the coastal south of Manche and around Mont Saint-Michel, situating each building in its landscape and pilgrimage network. The account describes local materials such as schist and granite, common plans and features including naves, choirs, towers and portals, and notes sculptural details and later Gothic alterations. For each site it outlines building phases, restoration campaigns and archaeological finds including foundations, sarcophagi and rare wall paintings. The presentation closes with a synthesis, bibliography, iconography and plentiful photographic and plan material to support site-by-site observation.
