According to biblical accounts, the apostle "Saint Jacques" was the first person to be executed for his faith, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, making him an early martyr (blood witness) of Christianity. His tomb in the town named after him, "Santiago de Compostela" (Galicia, Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world and is often ranked third after Jerusalem and Rome. Yesterday (July 25) was his feast day in the calendar of saints. When this date falls on a Sunday (this was last the case in 2021), the Catholic Church celebrates a special "Holy Year" there (extended by Pope Francis until 2022 due to the coronavirus pandemic).

Built on an old feudal motte, which is still visible and was completely destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, it was replaced in the second half of the 15th century by the castle, the remains of which can still be seen today. The Saint-François Tower remains as it was, with its Grisons base and rows of white stone. Halfway up the circle is the Cord of Saint Francis of Assisi, with its coils and knots. A Renaissance building was added in the 16th century, and new buildings were constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Thiron-Gardais Abbey was the mother abbey of one of the largest monastic orders of the Middle Ages, the Order of Tiron. There is a picnic area and Wi-Fi available inside. The gardens are impressive and highly recommended.

The castle was built in the 15th century and has undergone several renovations over the years, including the addition of a chapel in the 16th century and a new wing in the 18th century. It is now open to visitors and offers guided tours.

Florence CT's advice should be put into perspective because her experience as an "effective practitioner" is limited to a single outing...so far and, above all, a lot of planning!!!
