Convent / Monastery at Le Bec Hellouin, Normandy
These are a few views from around the convent. The Op Art shot is actually the sun setting over the nuns garden. Whilst the Abbey (where the monks live) is quite ancient the Monastery (where the nuns live) only dates from the 1950s; nothing particular has ever happened here. When I asked our vicar, Father Andrew, why Bec was a popular destination for English pilgrims he told me that it was very handy for road and ferry links and that it was an easy drive from the South East.
