First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
Hi all - now, you most likely already know about this but I have just discovered it.

One can light a candle in the cathedral - a virtual candle that burns for 48 hours - are asked to leave the reason why - and it is free, though you may make a donation. There are currently candles lit from people in 81 countries.

The main page states - "Lighting a candle is a gesture of spirituality around the world. Take a moment to think about your intentions for lighting a virtual candle: saying a prayer, honouring your loved ones who have passed away, in solidarity with a cause, a promise, a personal intention or to congratulate a friend."

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
