Notre Dame church....... Chillin in Semur-en-Auxois and loving this amazing medieval city! I keep exploring and finding more..... France has that effect on a person. Walking with Dieselle the dog, and loving life at this very moment.

Jewel of the medieval city, the present edifice was constructed between 1220 and 1739 when it became a collegiate church (a church directed by a college of monks and canons).
The Notre-Dame church was mentioned for the first time, in the IXth century, in a list of goods from Flavigny Abbey. Originally, the Notre-Dame church was a priory, meaning that it was dependent on another abbey, Flavigny Abbey, and occupied mainly by Benedictine monks. It explains the presence of a cloister,a fundamental component of abbeys and monasteries. The cloister represents the heart of the abbey.
My boyfriend is a sculptor, and worked on this church (sculpture)! It is magnificent!
