Bonjour mes amis! Sunday, November 7, my cousin, Jennifer, and I went to a church service at Chambéry's Cathedral. This church is fascinating to me. It was built during the 15th century in the franciscan spirit. Consecrated in 1488 it became a "cathedral" in 1779, and was devoted to Saint Francis of Sales after 1801. The most fascinating characteristic is that when you enter the church you see a vaulted ceiling throughout. Upon closer examination, you realize that the ceiling is really a painted relief which looks like vaulting but is truly paint. We enjoyed this church service and the atmosphere created by its age.
