Barbara: I can but agree with the "above person": one is overwhelmed by the beauty, by the actual and especially ancient size of Cluny, by its historical-religious importance in past centuries. And it's a shame: you can have been living for decades in France, can even have the impression to know "most of the country"... and then you discover this album and get aware what you have missed!!! Thank you for this fine report, with so many interesting details in picture and word! - Yours MaPa
