St. Gilles - Abbey

The huge crypt of the former benedictine monastry St. Gilles. In the foreground the tomb of St. Gilles. Three walking sticks are placed there, as still pilgrims flock here - as they did in the middle ages.
This crypt has not been destroyed during the Wars of Religion and the Revolution, but was used as a cellar. The most walls around are covered with graffittis dating back to that "secular" times.
