Rolin must also have been an exceptionally healthy individual with amazing genetic material - 86! <br /><br />And to think that the Hotel-Dieu is still operational today. Remarkable and such a testament to Rolin. <br />This is the sort of life that would make for a terrific film treatment - don't you think?<br /><br />Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636243284078640845.post-33104232777973102572014-02-05T03:04:38.180-08:002014-02-05T03:04:38.180-08:00What a fascinating and beautiful place.

AGA didn't care for the glazed roof tiles but like you I thought they were fabulous. I was pleased that both Nicolas and Guigogne lived long enough to not only see the culmination of their venture, but its growing prosperity as well. I agree with you in that I got the feeling that as the work progressed and as Nicolas got more and more involved, it changed him, and forgetful of self, he saw the results of being for the greater good of all, not just for the good of his Soul (and that is probably what saved it!)

A herbalist we go to in Melbourne still uses these as well and I feel as though I am obtaining ingredients for potions and spells!<br />KirkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642768891794895642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636243284078640845.post-6472154130552185342014-02-04T11:46:09.640-08:002014-02-04T11:46:09.640-08:00My pleasure, Monica.
