Drop shadows

As the Sun reaches its highest point,
strange silhouettes adorn the piliars
delimiting the cloister of this priory.

Animal shapes with a distinguished style,
each being the depositary of a high authority,
they congegrate every summer afternoon.

At the center of the negociations : peace.
Evocation of the diplomatic mission carried out,
for ever and ever, by the high clergy.

The cloister of Saint-Papoul Abbey
