The parish church of Saint Andre in Roquebrun, Hérault.

Built in the twelfth century, in the middle of the Romanesque period, the church was primarily a chapel, which adjoined the village's castle, which has since disappeared, leaving only the tower.

In the eighteenth century, following a flood, the parish church of Saint-Jean-l'Evangeliste was washed away by flood waters, and the chapel is thus transformed into the parish church. To accomplish this, the small Romanesque building becomes the transept of the new church, which faces north. The wall-like Romanesque bell tower became one of the façades of the church as you can still see.

In the nineteenth century, the interior was refurbished with the construction of the ceiling, the installation of liturgical furniture and a very splendid marble doorway. Unfortunately, the church was locked when I visited and I was unable to go inside.

The church has been restored in recent years.

Hi Stephen

I like the symmetry between the 3 diagonal lines of the 2 roofs & retaining wall. Good sharpness, colour & lighting. Nice colour contrasts between the pink magenta, & green. Well done!

Bonjour Stephen,
Beau cadrage et jolie point de vue. Belle composition fleurie, un beau témoignage de ce village.
Bon dimanche
Cordialement

Hi Stephen,
talking about architecture growing out of its environment, this is wonderful, the blending colours and the sweet simplicity.
The angel is great capturing the church in shadow yet the flowers in the sunlight. works for me!

Stephen,
This is a well composed shot! You managed to get good results under harsh light condition. I think that a polarizing filter would have helped here to give even more vibrant colors. The low perspective is fine looking up at the church which gives the shot nice depth and direction.
TFS,
Asa

Salut Stephen,
Superbe vue et très bonne en dépit des conditions d'éclairage. J'aime bien ces couvertures de fleurs qui donnent vie et couleur à la pierre.
Pour passer un bon dimanche.
Amitiés,
Charo

I really like the angle you have taken this from, with the flowers in the fg. The colors look really nice against the stone. A very beautiful old church once again. TFS and have a great day!

Bonjour Stephen,
Un bon angle de prise de vue donnant des résultats corrects sur l'élévation de ce splendide édifice ; la lumière semble difficile à exploiter.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hello Stephen,
I like the soft colours, the pink of the flowers blends well with the stonework.
Also the lamb standard with the two lights, this would be nice when lit in darkness.
Good composition. like this one.

Regards,
Robert
