Le Domaine du Colombier flaunts a charming castle villa
near Saint-Léger en Bray, a town whose charm
time has not yet erased.
Ancient walls flank historic houses
in colombage sides embraced;
narrow walking paths lace a trellised flowered cornucopia.
Enhancing the provincial community’s medieval aura
is a miniature cathedral, to sixteenth-century traced.

At Saint-Léger en Bray in Picardie, while on a walking tour,
we strolled in awe, to disturb not
the ambience of yesterdays.
The masonry village church to heaven points,
in timeless spired praise;
lancet windows spotlight pews beneath sculpted
gothic curvature.
Beyond the apse, raised pewter arches clasp,
in sacred-Host grandeur, a stained-glass rosette
which shreds sunlight into vermilion rays.
