Carolingian Oratory Germigny-des-Prés

Germigny-des-Prés

Step inside one of France's oldest churches and watch morning light dance across 130,000 golden tesserae. The 9th-century Oratoire's rare Byzantine mosaic of the Ark of the Covenant glows amber and cobalt as sun filters through ancient oculi.
