Fun runs (Allez! A droite!) and candle-snuffer belltower

We walked out of our hotel this morning (Sunday) to find roads blocked off. 

 I spoke to one of the attendants - there is a 7km run.  First runner....

One self-appointed? attendant was calling our to the runners.  Allez Allez (Go Go).  Some runners went the wrong way, so he called out for them to turn right.  A droite  a droite!

In the afternoon, we went to Villemaur-sur-Vanne.  Wood is a feature of this church. It has a free-standing bell tower, also made of wood and it is described at a candle -snuffer tower.  It does have 3 bells, but there was no way we could go up.

 

Apparently Brookland Church in Kent also has a candle-snuffer tower.  Link here

There is wood inside - french forest oak I am told,

 And a confessional. A while since its use.

Note the cobwebs..

We went on to Villeneuve-l'Archeve. 

Inside is another depiction of the entombment of Christ.  We saw another one a few days earlier.  They are actually very moving pieces.
