SAINT GENETOUR'S CHURCH
Go there and contact
Visit the church of Saint-Génitour to admire the Romanesque choir, the truncated columns, the relics, and a very large painting.
The Saint-Génitour priory was built at the end of the 11th century by the powerful Déols abbey. It was around this building that the lower town began to develop. In the 13th century, the priory chapel, extended by a nave, became the parish church.
The church was subsequently enlarged with the addition of chapels: one in the 15th century, two others in the 17th century and the last one in the 19th century, along with a canopy. A very large painting, Le Denier de César, hangs in the north transept. It is an early copy of a work by Peter Paul Rubens.
