Vézelay, Yonne, Burgundy, France: caught in time … agile craftsmen with good eye-hand coordination re-tiling the roof of a former monastic building beside the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, the church of a former Benedictine abbey rebuilt and enlarged in the 12th century to cope with hordes of pilgrims travelling to venerate bones preserved in the crypt, believed to be relics of Saint Mary Magdalene. The abbey church was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites in 1979.
