    Don't be deceived, all are corrupt. If she was truly incorrupt then she wouldn't be dead. Anyway, in answer to your post, no, I've never been to Nevers, probably never will either. You?

    He (she?) is using the term 'incorrupt' to mean that the body did not decompose. Such a lack of putrification in corpses has been seen as a sign of sanctity in many religious traditions.

    I've just Googled her. I'm actually quite stumped. 1879? That is truly astonishing. :confused:
