Paray le Monial 1

Paray-Le-Monial is a pilgrimage town. As well as having the 11th-12th century Romanesque Basilica of the Sacred Heart and numerous other religious treasures, it is the home of the"visitation nun Margaret Mary " and a notable pilgrimage destination. We met some Irish travelers at breakfast this morning, who come every year for the festival of the Sacred Heart. The town is beautifully maintained and decorated with flower boxes. Parks, cloister gardens, outdoor churches designed with plane trees in the shape of a cross, etc make it a very pleasant spot for the religious and heathens alike. Unfortunately, the well regarded Hieron museum was closed today.
We are staying at Inter-Hotel Hostellerie Des Trois Pigeons which is located perfectly, very nice, spacious and good value at AU$105 per night.Read more
