Here I almost died. I think I had the scare of my life. Having lost control of my bike on the slope, I fell on my luggage rack, and it braked my rear wheel, veiling it. For a quarter of a second, I thought I was going to finish him in the background, and that I couldn't get out without a serious injury. It's crazy all the ideas that go through your head in such a short time. Eventually, or miraculously, everything stopped, and I didn't even find myself on the ground. #AMDG

In Mayenne, there are about 6,400 crosses on the roads, of which at least fifty refer to the apparitions of Pontmain. Pontmain? One of the 5 places where the Most Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in France. In 1871, the whole parish of Pontmain prayed to ward off the Prussian war. Our Lady appears in the center of the village, and says to them: "But pray my children, God will answer you in no time. My son allows himself to be touched." The Virgin holds in her hands a red crucifix with a sign "Jesus Christ" above. After 1871, Calvaries multiplied in Mayenne and often took up the model of the appearance of Pontmain. Even today, the "Crucifix de Pontmain" is very visible in Mayenne.
