Photos: Germigny-des-Pres Oratory

This gallery of 42 photos accompanies our article on the Germigny-des-Pres Oratory in Centre, France. This Carolingian oratory near Orléans was built in 806 by Bishop Theodulf, Charlemagne's adviser. Containing rare Byzantine mosaics, it is one of the oldest and most unique churches in France. All photos marked © Sacred Destinations are available for licensing.
