Postcard from France!

Today I got a great postcard from France! The postcard shows an aerial view of the Basilica of St. Sernin, which is located in Toulouse. It was a former abbey named the Abbey of St. Sernin and it lies on the site of a previous basilica that housed the ody of St. Saturnin (Sernin), who was the first bishop of Toulouse. The abbey itself was made during the 4th century but the current basilica was consecrated in 1180. The church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thanks Rafal!
