Bouvines monastery
France

This is a view on the monastery of Bouvines. The shot was taken in september 2011, in the end of the afternoon, during heritage days. Panorama made in HDR version (enfuse).

The Monastery of Bouvines was the home of the Dehau family, since its construction until 1940. Felix Dehau (Mayor of Bouvines for 62 years) and his wife, born Marie Lenglart brought up their large family and lived there until their death.

Become monastery in 1945, this building has hosted for nearly 60 years, a community of nuns cloistered dominicans.
Today rebuilt after a fire in January 2005, the monastery is open to the public reception diocese and the new catholic community of the "Chemin neuf" organizes Christian training sessions. It remains a house of prayer according to the will of the Association Dehau Felix.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
