SAINT ROMAN CHURCH
Go there and contact
Many people miss it out when they make journey between Boulogne and Chaville. Formerly dedicated to St. John the Baptist, this church was later on devoted to St. Romain, patron of boatmen, from 1504. With more than a thousand years, it has inscriptions that date its first foundations as far back as 675. And over such a long period, of course, the history of the church is very hectic: it was destroyed by the Normans in the ninth century, rebuilt in the thirteenth century, then rebuilt in the sixteenth century, after the ravages of the Hundred Years War. The choir was added in the eighteenth century.
In 1789, the upper part of the tower threatening to fall into ruin struck and replaced by a campanile. In 1901, the statue of St. Romain is added in front, and in 1937, the church is included in the supplementary inventory
