ile saint honorat.
i had an epic sunday. i went to the beautiful island off of cannes called ILE SAINT HONORAT. it was truly an amazing day. this island was founded in the year 410 and is run by benedictine monks. there are rules you must follow: no smoking, no cars, no noise. unknowingly, i timed my arrival perfectly with a full mass. it was one of the most moving experiences i’ve ever had. the service was conducted by about 20 monks. their chanting in perfect harmony sent chills down my spine.
this is the old monastery that is still standing after 16 centuries. it is unbelievably beautiful inside.
there is vineyard in the middle of the island. the monks make wine !
i left a rock for the monks that says “CALME.” (calm in french). i hope i don’t get in trouble for littering.
