A church with murals, with a decorative set, framed by a medallion decorated with a triangle and works
Built in the 11th century, Eglise Saint-Eloi is in a Romanesque style. Important restoration works were carried out from 2007 to 2010. Outside, the apse and the absidiole have been cleared. Inside, wall paintings have been brought up to date. In the choir, you can discover a decorative set organised around a central motif in an medallion decorated with a triangle (the Trinity) in which you can see the name of God in Hebrew. On the cross springer, a phylactery in the form of ribbon with flattened folds bearing inscriptions. On the southern side of the vault, you can admire a part of a Gothic tetramorph of the 15th. The whole is completed by contemporary works. You can also notice the Gothic fresco dedicated to Saint Quiteria, elevated to the status of a virgin by the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela. Further south, you can find the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa built around the end of the 4th century. This site, discovered in 1902, is classified a historical monument since the 27th of January, 1933. Eglise Saint-Eloi was a relay on the way of Santiago de Compostela's pilgrims. It was inaugurated in January 2010 and it deserves a short detour.
