Hi Renaud I like your photos of Bouvines. Presumably you live there. Can you tell me if there are any photos of the Marist Brothers - Freres Maristes - couvent/monastery? I remember visiting it in November 1956. The Brothers I believe left sometime ago due to lack of young men joining up but the building may still be there. I believe it might have once been a nuns' convent. Hope you cna help or advise. Curly Wee in Staffordshire, England.

Hello, yes, I live in Bouvines, there is always a monastery to Bouvines, but he is not any more occupied by the sisters for 5 years, maintaining he has a religious congregation... for 2014 big festivities are foreseen(planned) to celebrate 800 years of the battle of Bouvines... Cordially Renaud
