The church of village Montseveroux

On the other side of the Rhone from Blandine's village, atop the ridge of the river, is an inconspicuous  village called Montseveroux. It's main claim to fame is that every year it has a festival of folk dances from around the world. Blandine and I hopped over to see that festival - more on that in the next post. But in the process we discovered that village's adorable 12th century Church, the Church of Saint-Martin...

On the way to Montseveroux, there is another village with a name that is confusingly similar (and somewhat funny for English speakers) - Monsteroux. It too has a cute 11th century church all of its own, with an exposed bell tower. A tiny little Church, not a monster one...
