An unusual one: two churches in one... this is at the monastery at Sainte Croix in the Drôme. The religious history of the area is fascinating, with wars of religion a long time ago, with a fairly even split between Catholicism and Protestantism. I don't know the detailed history of the monastery, but this building has a Protestant 'Temple' at one end, and a Catholic 'Eglise' at the other. Maybe they were being inclusive, because they were nice, or maybe they were hedging their bets. Anyway, this is the Temple end.

Boulc church today. To get to it, you either have to ride over a 1040m col, or through an 880m curved tunnel with a constant 11% gradient and minimal lighting.

I think I rang the bells there about 40 years ago, but had forgotten what it looked like. Butcombe was also one of the early additions to the real ale revival in the late 70s, and it's good to see that they are still going.
