Abbey Of Saint-Hubert
Saint-Hubert Abbey (), officially the Abbey of St Peter in the Ardennes (''Abbaye de Saint-Pierre en Ardennes''), was a Benedictine monastery founded in the Ardennes in 687 and suppressed in 1797.

Historically, city dwellers have been a small proportion of humanity overall, but following two centuries of unprecedented and rapid urbanization, more ...
