A very warm welcome to Maison du Seigneur |
|
Maison du Seigneur exists as a quiet Christian Witness in the deep countryside of Burgundy France,and welcomes people singly or in groups to make their own Retreats or Mini-conference/Bible and Prayer Studies.Here it is very peaceful and lends itself to Contemplative Prayer and Communion with the Lord Jesus Christ and with this in mind, we have regular Prayer three times a day being at Morning, Mid-Day and Evening/Compline.Visitors are very welcome to join the staff in this Disciplin if they wish.
We offer a service providing "Care and Prayer" with good food, leaving the guests to follow their own schedule--- but we are on hand to help.
We are Rustically Basic and any profits made are used to support recognised mission. |

| The Region |
|
|
Burgundy
The name has always conjured up an image of richness. Maybe it comes from the association with colour. That deep rich red that is unmistakably Burgundy. Obviously, it is the wine that gives us the colour and, perhaps, this added to the `rich' feeling I had of Burgundy. .. heavy, dark, even a little mysterious. But, whatever the colour (and the wine), the reason is that the region of Burgundy is, probably, better known, by name at least, than any other part of France.
