François Vasey We conducted with a group four animations over two days with the support of an excellent guide of the house of the visitor: a walk of the pilgrim to approach the hill, a setting in situation of the basilica to the House of the Visitor, a guided tour from the basilica and finally a marquees workshop.

Anne, Brittany The film "The Dance of the New Adam" made me travel in time and space as close to the work of the artists of the Romanesque art. With what fervor do they still speak to men of the XXI century!
The details of the sculptures, the arrangement of forms and representations of humanity superbly filmed, the text, the music touched my senses and my heart.
At the deepest. The emotion is at the rendezvous! Magnificent ! Thank you !
