The Ruins of La Roe Abbey La Roe, France

We had a picnic under the trees at La Roe Abbey, and toured the ruins with great interest. It is in deplorable shape, but rich in history. The mayor of the village has complete control of how money is spent to restore ancient monuments. So tours help to pay for restoration. I can well imagine that the numbers of people going through this abbey will not pay for much restoration over the years.
