WHY, is my question, why is the labyrinth covered in the first place...I can make no sense of that and wish that those in administeration at chartes could understand the distress such a policy causes! To be able to walk the chatres labrrinth with all ones being should surely not be a random thing depending on the day of the week...I was very sad and am sure that there are thousands like me every year....why is this policy persued... if you have any insight into this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your beautiful blog...I enjoyed reading very much of your experience. with regards, ameliaKameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495562363922024397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552687405137200905.post-9855353557339173962011-04-21T12:13:43.851-07:002011-04-21T12:13:43.851-07:00Ann, I'm so delighted that my information was ...Ann, I'm so delighted that my information was helpful and most especially that you got to walk the "mother" labyrinth.Catherine Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522677325866101238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552687405137200905.post-55545179075625850462011-04-21T08:14:51.040-07:002011-04-21T08:14:51.040-07:00If I hadn't discovered your blog just days bef...If I hadn't discovered your blog just days before my recent trip to France, I would have arrived at Chartres on a day when the labyrinth was covered with chairs. However, armed with your information, I changed my trip itinerary, arrived in Chartres on Friday, April 1, 2011, and walked the labyrinth. It was an inspiring experience and I thank you so much for telling your story.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475893279133252075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552687405137200905.post-49575071171723793872011-03-16T09:35:34.026-07:002011-03-16T09:35:34.026-07:00How wonderful to be able to walk the premier labyr...How wonderful to be able to walk the premier labyrinth! And how nice that you got to do it more than once.
