When we encounter the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people outside Great Britain probably think involuntarily of the time of Christ, some two thousand years back. This is because one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the Gospels, he is known as "Didymos," which means "twin" in Greek. In this case, however, the chosen patronage refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118–1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his episcopal see and martyrdom. Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually—via the komoot system at the following link: =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

Beautiful view of the Marais Vernier natural site. I had, when I was 18, the honor and the pleasure of working there in the company of several biologists. It is an exceptional site due to the richness of its fauna. On site live Camargue horses, Hyland cattle, Scottish sheep, gray herons and many other species. A few group visits are regularly organised. To participate, you must register in advance on the Marais Vernier nature reserve website.

The orientation table allows you to appreciate the panoramic view of the marsh and its unique agricultural plots, called courtils, by helping you to identify landmarks. You may be able to spot rare birds like osprey, heron, falcon or stork. The Marais Vernier is a natural wonder that offers a variety of landscapes and terrains for runners.

The Maladrerie Saint-Thomas-Becket is a former leper colony founded in the 12th century by the monks of the abbey of Fécamp. You can admire the remains of the chapel dedicated to Saint Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury who was assassinated by King Henry II of England in 1170. You can also discover the archaeological remains of a building and a paved pool in inside the enclosure. It is a peaceful and scenic walk that will take you back in time and immerse you in the medieval atmosphere of this place.
