One of the many quiet roads where you can enjoy your laps here. The surface is a bit dated, but surely a load of gravel will soon be poured here to fill the holes :-)

Here – in the "Val des Nymphes" – a Christian church meets figures from pagan mythology. Nymphs were considered nature spirits or goddesses in the religious understanding of the time, but by no means as significant as, for example, Mars, Neptune, or even Zeus. They were a popular motif in the visual arts, offering the opportunity to depict naked or scantily clad female figures. The church found here, with the title "Notre Dame" (in German "Our Dear Lady"), which is widely used in France, is also dedicated to a special woman who, although not a goddess herself, according to Christian understanding participated in the divine plan of salvation through her unconditional "yes" to the angel's message: Mary, the Mother of God.
