Chrestien Respectable Lodge No. 398 of Troyes, Troyes in Champagne

The last three Lodges listed for France I’m not really sure if it is the Tamworth Travelling Gavel or the England
Travelling Gavel No. 1, these two Gavels went missing in France at the same time, and seeing that I haven’t
been able to get a Mason from France or Switzerland, I suppose I’ll never know. The lack of information from
Masonic Lodges all around the world has amaized me greatly - and they call it Brotherly Love!!
