Romanesque Art in Southern Manche: Album

An illustrated guide surveys twelve little-known Romanesque parish churches in southern Manche, describing their construction in local schist and granite and their roles on medieval pilgrimage routes toward Mont Saint-Michel. Maps situate parishes, deaneries, and medieval roads, and a geological map explains available building stones. Detailed architectural descriptions and measured plans highlight features such as arches, belfries, opus spicatum masonry, and sculpted capitals. Historic notes recount donations, changes of use, and later repairs. Photographs accompany each entry to document current ruinous or preserved conditions.
