Saint Denis

As the rain ceased this morning, I seized the chance to go for a short bike ride and take some photos of Saint Denis. Saint Denis is a small village of about 900 people, settled in a valley a short way from Mons. At first there was just the abby, and over the years people came and houses sprang up. The Rossi's house is one of the oldest houses here, built in the 15th century! I hope you enjoy these photos.
