Thanks, Tony! Well, I discovered this church sort of accidentaly as I made my way through rainy French Jura - it was an important Benedictine Abbey founded around the year 910 - and from this abbey came part of the founders of famous and important Abbaye de Cluny - inded the Baume Abbey is often called "Mother of Cluny". Anyway, it is a sad building nowadays - all the revolutions and secularizations have taken it's toll on the church, it is in quite derelict state.. But it is a place where you can trace all the history - tombs of old recluses, Church princes, and stones made smooth by the shuffling of peasants..
