Yup, and the Chapel, too.
I had simply forgotten about this crypt which bears an uncanny resemblance
to the crypt under the great Benedictine Abbey of Fleury, in the Loire
Valley of France.
There, under the high altar of this Romanesque building lie the remains
of Saint Benedict and his sister, Saint Scholastica.
I blundered upon Fleury when looking for yet another Loire Valley
Chateau, entered the Abbey through the famous "Galilee"/Tower porch,
and into the church where the pipe organ was being played at
full tilt. There was a sign over on the left with the simple words,
"Aux Tombes" and an arrow pointing east. Then a final sign,
"Crypte" and a stairway down.
I was unprepared for the famous duo, but glad I'd blundered into
the Abbey.
