J’ai bien aimé lire ce que tu ressentais durant ce séjour. Tu as vraiment décrit ce qu’est une pose de la vie de tout les jours.

Tes photos sont vraiment belles.👍

Voilà une belle description de moments pleins de sérénitude. J’avais une tante religieuse cloîtrée qui vivait au monastère de Rivière-du-Loup où j’ai pu séjourner à quelques occasions pour me ressourcer. Tu m’as rappelé ces beaux moments apaisants vécus au ralenti dans un état de calme et de tranquillité.

What a fabulous experience Tino, and what a wonderful location. It always amazes me regarding the ingenuity of people in the past to build such places and that they are still standing.

Thank you Sally, and thanks for restacking. I recommend this type of place to anyone looking for a little brake. Nature at its best no matter the season. Have a great weekend.

L’endroit est magnifique et cela doit être tellement reposant. Je n’ai jamais fait ce genre d’expérience et tu m’en donnes le goût!

You certainly have a knack for discovering unique experiences and creating unique content. Your photos really capture the essence of how isolated the monastery is and, Tino, the photo of the TV room makes the story! 😆

In addition, your reels are very cinematic and the last one is now etched in my own memory. That’s a sign of a skilled storyteller—being able to impart emotion and evoke it, at once.

I will share this one widely, and invite your followers to do the same.

Merci Lise, en fait le monastère Est atteignable en auto. Mais les redonnées sommets sont assez challenging. Bonne soirée.

Thank you Loretta. And yes when I entered the tv room it could not stop laughing. And here I thought I would sneak in to catch a soccer match. The last reel got me hooked there for a little wile. The feeling live was quite emotional.

Grazie Mille
