. Travels in the Pyrenees : including Andorra and the coast from Barcelona to Carcassonne. sobsof all present at this melancholy ceremony, for safety toVillefranche. Three years later the bells of the abbey weresold, the city of Perpignan acquiring all but the largest, which went to Olot in Spain. The altars and other orna-ments of the abbey church were distributed amongst thevillages of Vernet, Sahorre, Mantet, Marquixanes, andAureilla, all of which had depended on the abbey.
