I remember I had to put my camera on the floor and take the pictures on 2 second delay so the camera wouldn't shake when I pressed the button, hence the odd perspective.
One story we heard was that many of the tapestries were found being used for such things as horse blankets and keeping the frost off the vegetable gardens!
Each tapestry had a description of what part of the apocalypse story they represented, so it took quite a while to take them all in. There was a book about it all, with wonderful pictures, but I decided that it was too heavy to travel with. I will just have to trust in my memories, the pictures and the internet.

Hi, Mary. What wonderful tapestries. I think the trip to France might have been worthwhile just for these tapestries alone.
Thanks for the mention of my blog.
(By the way, there's a typo in your heading.)
oops! Not sure how to fix that, I will investigate. Yes, they were magnificent, as were the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries that we saw in Paris. Maybe I should blog about that too.
Oh, WOW! Wonderful! Soooo many tapestries to look at!!
Thanks for sharing! Vera
No problem Vera,
I was glad to have the chance to remember them. It was amazing, walking into the room. I felt taken aback by the immensity of the display. The detail in the tapestries is wonderful also.
