Day 19 / Jour 19 Lusignan

I left Poitiers this morning, heading toward Lusignan.

The scenery was beautiful, though I didn’t pass through many towns along the way.

I did, however, get to see the Abbey Church of the Augustinian Friars and the small Church of Notre-Dame in Coulombiers.

In the forest near Lusignan, I came across a group of people gathering leaves—they were harvesting wild garlic.

In Lusignan, near my accommodation for the night, I found a Khachkar, a traditional Armenian stone cross. This monument was a gift from the Armenian people to the city of Lusignan in honor of Leo V of Lusignan, the last king of Armenia. The city displays it as a tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

J’ai quittĂ© Poitiers ce matin en direction de Lusignan.

Le paysage Ă©tait magnifique, mĂȘme si je n’ai pas traversĂ© beaucoup de villes.

J’ai tout de mĂȘme pu voir l’église abbatiale des FrĂšres Augustins ainsi que la petite Ă©glise Notre-Dame Ă  Coulombiers.

Dans la forĂȘt prĂšs de Lusignan, j’ai croisĂ© un groupe de personnes en train de ramasser des feuilles—ils rĂ©coltaient de l’ail des ours.

À Lusignan, prĂšs de mon hĂ©bergement pour la nuit, j’ai dĂ©couvert un Khachkar, une croix de pierre armĂ©nienne traditionnelle. Ce monument a Ă©tĂ© offert par le peuple armĂ©nien Ă  la ville de Lusignan en hommage Ă  LĂ©on V de Lusignan, le dernier roi d’ArmĂ©nie. La ville l’expose en mĂ©moire des victimes du gĂ©nocide armĂ©nien de 1915.
