This is the place for their meeting. The second picture showed the trace of a chimney built.

This is the place where they copy bible. No photocopying at that time and all bibles were manually copied. Large chimneys were built to warm up the room so that they can write. The fire place is higher than a person.

This is the place where the monks left the corpus after they passed away. A Peita at the left side, an altar at the end and there was a sculpture hanged on the wall, saying about incarnation.

The second picture is a closer look at Peita. Third picture is the altar. The letter Omega has a meaning of "From start to the end".

An overview from the abbey. Except the hotel built on the island, the nearest one is about 3km away. No car is allowed except those permitted one. So thousands of tourists have to squeeze into a shuttle. The island is surrounded by a large piece of wet land. On high tide, it will look like an isolated island, you can imagine.

A very nice scene indeed. You see the last picture has a nice weather, but it rained just a few minutes before I took this picture.

We had planned our third and forth day as Museum day. This was because we can buy a Paris Museum Pass to walk through a number of museums. Not only that it is cheaper than paying individual museum when visit, but also that you need not to queue for tickets. We bought a 2-day museum pass at 48 Euro and we earned back the value on our first day.

Having said that, the first spot we went to was Place de la Bastille. Nothing special there actually except its historic meaning. This is the place where the Bastille jail located during French Revolution time. The second reason that we were there was the Marche de Bastille. This is an old market and only open in Thursday and Sunday. We went there for our breakfast.
