Notes from France

Where Brother O.P. is learning French (no, Ilana, I still don't know French).

He writes about this vaulting: "It's from Les Jacobins, the 13th-14th C. priory of the Dominicans in Toulouse. The Dominicans prayed under that vault every day, that is, until the Revolution. Almost every story about the Church here in France begins 'Until the Revolution, this was ...' Sad."
