Normandy-style Home Near: Normandy also fell under Lombard influence in the Romanesque period. The great prestige of northern Italy at this time was due in part to its great universities, such as the one at Pavia. Some of the most important prelates of Normandy, and subsequently of England, were born and trained in Lombardy, and they helped to carry the Lombard style northward. Hence the abbeys at Caen have a modified form of Lombard structure.
A Normandy-style home near Caltech offers visitors the opportunity to see how a designer's vision can completely revitalize a neglected residence. The Lion House, built in 1926, was in extreme disrepair when purchased by the present owner. English Tudor details added to the exterior and Spanish touches to the interior masked the basic French design of the residence.
Lisieux, in Normandy, made famous by a young Normandy girl, Sainte-Therese-a-l'Enfant-jesus, who was canonized as recently as 1925, has a big religious festival from September 25 to 30 and a pilgrimage on October 3.
Domremy, on May 14, and Orleans, on May 7-8, have pilgrimages to honor, respectively, the birth of Saint Joan and her deliverance of Or-Mans. |
