Audressein - Notre-Dame-de-Tramesaygues

Audressein - Notre-Dame-de-Tramesaygues
Audressein is a tiny village (pop ~120) in the foothills of the Pyrenees. One of the many old pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostella once followed the valley.

When "Notre-Dame-de-Tramesaygues" was erected within the 14th century, there were still many pilgrims passing through here. As the confluence of two rivers is near the church "Tramesaygues" may mean "between waters".

The porch of the church has three entries, the bell tower was added within the 14th century. The little gate on the right opens to the villages´ cementary.

Thank you! Merci!

Sonja, you still recover from the overdose of Bavarian Baroque at Wies. These simple bell towers are typical for an area around and south of Toulouse. Before the tower was added the church must have looked like a triple garage.
