Off on the next stage

I'm waiting on Saumur station for a train that's 10 minutes late. When it comes it will take me to Tours, where I can see what's left of St Martin's Basilica.

It's raining hard and the forecast isn't good for the next few days!

People have asked me what the church is on the background to the heading. It is the church of the Maison Dieu at Parthanay, which was a major stopping point on the Medieval route to Compostela for pilgrims going south from Tours.
