Raymond was born in Chartres in 1900. In 1924, he married Adrienne, who was 11 years older and already had three children. He bought this piece of land and built a house on it for his family. During walks, he was attracted to the shimmering and colourful shards of broken crockery and started collecting the shards. In 1938, he told his wife that he had a nice idea to decorate the house and he started covering the entire house with mosaics, paintings and sculptures of iconic landmarks in France and elsewhere. Not only the house and rooms, but also chairs, tables, the oven, to even his wife's sewing machine and other small household objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); color: rgb(44, 44, 40); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, serif; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-style ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-text-text-transform ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">For Raymond, this was his passion; he literally put his 'soul' into it - he built a 'soul room'. It was a lifelong ongoing work of art. In total, he collected 15 tonnes of multicoloured crockery and unusual stone rubble and worked on it for 33 years.<\/span><span style=\"color: #2c2c28; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2c2c28; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">Raymond's nickname was 'Picassiette', which is a contraction of Picasso and Assiette (plate).

And it will probably be the last of the series of cathedrals I have visited in the past 10 months. So after a light lunch, I walked up the 80 steps that led to Notre-Dame. On the way up, I saw many people of Indian origin on the streets. When I reached the cathedral square, I heard why there were so many: the Sri Lankan Catholic Tamil community was holding a pilgrimage today with a church service in the cathedral. They filled the entire nave. Tourists were not allowed during the service, which was to last until 6pm. I walked to a stall handing out authorisation bracelets and explained that today was my only day in Chartres and that I had cycled +6,000 km to help preserve Tibetan culture and traditions. The nice Sri Lankan man behind the table was impressed and gave me a bracelet with a very broad smile. Asian people are usually very kind-hearted and compassionate. Thank you!<\/span><br style=\"color: #2c2c28; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\"><br style=\"color: #2c2c28; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\"><span style=\"color: #2c2c28; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">Because of the church service, I could only visit the side aisles. The famous 'labyrinth' under the central dome was not visible as it was full of chairs. But I really enjoyed the Sri Lankan interpretation of a Christian mass, their melodious singing and prayers and their colourful clothes. And for good measure, I took a picture of the labyrinth from a postcard in a nearby tourist shop.<\/span><br style=\"color: #2c2c28; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 17.136px;
