01

The place changes

What sets Mole-Saint-Nicolas apart is the direct overlap of two distinct historical layers in one small remote town: it is simultaneously the reputed first landing site of Columbus in the Americas and the site of a living Catholic patronal tradition honoring Notre-Dame du Rosaire, giving the annual feast an unusual backdrop of surviving colonial fortifications rarely found together with this kind of hemispheric historical claim
