Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Montils

Early morning in Montils is not the very best time of the day, to take a photograph of the parish church Saint-Sulpice. The portal is in shadow and all the doors are locked. So the visitor can not not enter and will not see the crypt. The church was built during the 12th century, but got remodeled over the century a couple of times. The bell tower was added to the structure in the 15th, the facade got a "make up" in the 16th century. There are some remarkable corbels here, carved in a rough style, that differs from the "flamboyant" carvings around. After having seen, what is going on under the roof of Saint-Perre in Champagnolles, this can only been a weathered loving couple.

This exhibitionist has very much in common with the flatulist in Champagnolles (22kms southwest), but this one is blindfolded, or his eyes hidden behind a kind of hood. The nostrils could well be from an ape.
