Dear Elizabeth, there is so much more to this, as George Grey Barnard probably knew, for he had this vision to also rescue parts ( I think) before WWII. I have been to both places too! Somehow I got into a quest that is amazing. But it is difficult to tell fantasy from truth. Thanks for the article!!

Hi Elizabeth, I am bowled over by your writing about Saint-Guilhem and the cloisters museum. I’ve just visited the village and abbey last week, and am trying to write a blog post aobut it. Having read your article makes it all the harder, but in a good way!

It is time to return all treasures and artifacts to their countries of origin – where they may be appreciated as they were intended.

It must have been a magical place to explore as a child! I must read your novel.

The Cloisters is an amazing treasure. I spent a lot of my childhood there and then grew up to incorporate those memories into my novel SWIMMING TOWARD THE OCEAN (Knopf).
