It is always good to go off the motorway! If you would drive between Bordeaux and Paris on the A 10, take your time to go off at exit 34 to Poitiers on the D 950. In this way you will be able to see some beautiful romanesque churches which are on the Unesco World Heritage site. We found the St. Peter's church in Aulnay where we had the good fortune to come on Sunday morning during the service. It was moving to see the gathering of the congregation in this 800 year old church.
Not to disturbe the Mass, we walked outside around the church and took our time to admire the richly carved capitals and facades.
