Saint-Mandé-sur-Brédoire - Saint-Brice

Saint-Mandé-sur-Brédoire - Saint-Brice
Saint-Mandé-sur-Brédoire is about 4 kms west of Aulnay, a distance an able man walked probably in less than an hour. It is absolutely clear, that the master-workshops working in Aulnay, did work here as well.

Saint-Brice, a small single nave structure, has many parallels to Saint-Pierre in Aulnay. Some icons were tried here, before they were carved in another scale and another quality for Saint-Pierre. So this church may have served as a "sample book".

Most surprising is Saint-Brice´s side portal. Here is the capital of one of the flanking portals.
