Picardie Gem

While riding my bike in the area between Champagne and Picardie regions of France, in the department of Aisne, I came across several "ghost villages" with deserted buildings. I also came across this church which is small, and overgrown with tall grass. It was not constructed in the typical Champagne style, more of a Picardie style; However, you have to drive another half hour northwest to start seeing everything constructed from brick, it does not suddenly become so upon crossing the Champagne/Picardie border.

Although I am not a fan of brick in general, there is something about this little church that made me return time and time again to take photographs of it. I do not think it would be half as charming without being overgrown.
