Ordonnaz
Sully made plant some trees in order to provide wood for the construction of the boats which went towards News-France.
"" However, the facts are a little contradictory: forests in certain cases, of the plantations along the roads in others (and it was said that it would be necessary to name these trees of will birons name of a former courtier and officer which had been decapitated). If one refers to the historical context, there are very few trees at the time and very little wood for the boats or constructions of houses safe in some quite precise mountainous areas and served generally well by rivers, there was much less wood than today, all or almost had been cleared and one just kept in plain some forests for hunting.
Wood becomes very very expensive at this time, the more so as one returns in what the historians name the Small Ice Age (which is completed towards the beginning of XIXe S.) the stone or the brick is spread for the construction of the middle-class residences parallel to cooling. The plantation along the roads was to be an easy way or a juridico-commercial muddle in order not to pay wood with owners of fields or communes.

Here
is thus the explanation of the name of the two trees to which I could
say hello this weekend, in Bugey… Both planted besides in front of a
church.
Thus let us start with Ordonnaz…
Small village sympatic, where the tradition wants that the guests will seek the sheep all together in the common furnace, while singing for the sacrificed animal.
Located in Ordonnaz the old man, or bottom, the church was rebuilt many time. (see the stones enchased in the northern wall…)
In front of draws up the old man “Sully”, splendid tree deserving with him only displacement. All around the place, of the stones are drawn up in the fields. I do not know if the place were inhabited by the people of the megaliths, (the old men of the village do not go up the history before XVIIIème…) but some interesting stones find that and there, and I found, with the abandonment, an old source which appeared to me well to be integrated into the remainder…
In the church, a crossing water/telluric fault/network makes it possible to receive energies.
Innimond
On
the road… Another Sully, as splendid as the first. the site is
incredible, sight on the Alps and the Mount Blanc. The church is drawn
up with the point of a mountainous bar, and the wouivre can be given
some to heart-joy…
Small
village of the bas-Bugey, Innimond is located at the south-eastern
point of the plate of the Wood of Morgne whose edge Is (cliffs)
dominates the villages of Appregnin and Ambléon and further Belley. The
borough was destroyed by a fire in 1852.
There
was here a strengthened priory founded with the XI ème century by the
abbey of Cluny. The church prieurale the St. Lawrence (to 909 m of
altitude) only in fact report.
Its
coupled bell-tower is of the XIX ème century, the nave is Romance, a
Gothic wall of the XV ème, and apse XVII ème shows the stages of the
successive restorations.
Inside, old furnace bridges, statue of holy Anne of the XVII ème, grid and reliquary of SAINT LAURENT. but unfortunately, once again, carries closed….
The tree acts as guard.
Chartreuse of Portes
Always
in Bugey, the chartreuse one of Doors blottit in a magic small valley.
The visit is prohibited, and I respected the wish of loneliness of the
monks. I thus do not have photographs of the abbey in it even, but of
the entry, yes…
It is a forest road, which begin with a beautiful door from life…. Impressing!
The photographs of the buildings are thus drawn from two sites:

Located
in the mountains of Bugey remotely almost equal of Lyon and Geneva, the
chartreuse one of Doors is blottie to the top of a collar, with the
variation of the main roads, 7 km of the village nearest. With nearly
1.000 m of altitude, it enjoys the hard and healthy climate of the
assemblies.
First house of France to have adopted Large Chartreuse, Portes was called: “the elder girl of the Order cartusien”. She also accepted the denomination of “Chartreuse of the saints” because she sheltered at the origin of the monks of high merit, of which some were canonized.
In 1115, Bernard de Varey and Ponce, monks of the Benedictine abbey
of Ambronay, withdraw himself with the solid mass of Doors, eager to
live the life cartusienne about which they intended to speak. The
construction of the first monastery built out of stone goes back to
1125.
During the Revolution, the community disperses. The goods were tranformés in farm with more or less of happiness which led to the ruin of the buildings.
In
1855, the Carthusian monks repurchase the field of Doors, whose
buildings were left with the abandonment by the various owners and gave
all in state according to plans' of origin. The field is approximately
250 hectares.
With its 12 cells, the chartreuse one of Doors kept the traditional type of the old houses of the Order.
Approximately, the first village of bungalows of the French history…. (I joke…:)) )
