Hello any French colleagues. Everywhere in Italy and maybe in France too, you find little shrines dedicated to Saint Mary or other saints. I looked that word shrine up and got tombeau or sanctuaire. Is there any other word for what I mean? Merci en avance. Lynne |

I think you are talking about the "places" you find along some roads ? "Lieu de p�lerinage", one of Bruce�s suggestions, is more a place like Compostelle for example, or a specific church or cathedral where you want to go or let an "ex-voto" (a message to thank God or a particular Saint) ; a lot of sailors did that in the past when they came back alive from a hazardous sailing. You may think of "niche votive", small places where prayers can let some flowers, a candle to give strength to their pray. If ever you like Fernandel and Gino Cervi in the funny series "Don Camillo" you can see, in 1 film, an argument about a very small rock where there is a small statue of the Virgin to preserve. And if it is what I think of you find a lot of these things in Corsica.

I was going to suggest niche votive too. There are also lots of calvaires, especially near where we go on holiday in Brittany: these are roadside crosses. |
