Montguyon - Saint-Vincent
Saint-Vincent actually is not in Montguyon, but in "Vaissiac" a hamlet, now part of Montguyon, that in medieval times hosted a priory.
"Saint Vincent de Vaissiac", the church of the former priory, has the front that is so typical for the Charente. There are many archivolts over the elaborate portal with many columns and capitals, - but there is no tympanum.
As the stones, that were used in this area within the 11th and 12th century, are very soft, the masters could create wonderful works of art, but - the stone weathers. So many carvings are gone - and others, like this one are - difficult to interpret. I see a person with a basket on his/her back, harvesting. Maybe grapes?
