The Three Churches at Vergons
Notre Dame de l' Assomption
Vergons is a small village at the foot of the Pic de Chamatte. According to Wikipedia, its population is around 125 today and had a high of 500 in the middle of the 19th century and a low of 72 in 1975. Its only commerce is a rather nice restaurant but it has all of three churches, two of which date from the 12th century. Today was Sunday and my fiancee and I had lunch in the resto before visiting the churches - all of which are wonderfully maintained.
I'm Scottish and based in Pau with my wife. I've been doing less flying lately but spend a lot of time outdoors hiking and cycling and hope to do some more skiing in the winter months.
