There are gorgeous 360* views here at the monastery. No matter where you look, there is pretty scenery in the form of the picturesque countryside landscapes, sloping hills, and winding waters of the Tarn River that surround the quaint, little village of Ambialet.
We arrived on Friday afternoon after a long traveling experience that began on Thursday morning with a bus ride to the Philadelphia airport. But the beautiful scenery we were welcomed with more than made up for the labors of traveling.
There is a lot of history here, which is heaven for a history geek like me. The monastery was built in the 14th century, while the church (pictured below) dates back to 1047.
I'm sure over the next few days we will get settled in and explore the town more. Until next time, au revoir!
Looks like you are in for an exciting four months!
