Labyrinths in France
There are only a handful of Medieval Labyrinths remaining in place. Located on the old pilgrimage roads (look for St. James of Compostela shell signs), each site is home to at least one Black Madonna, and all are dedicated to Mary, except the modern replica in Orléans. The great cathedral labyrinths now seem to be considered quaint designs, and are often covered with chairs.
