ST. PETER'S CHURCH
Go there and contact
The church Saint-Pierre, built around 1100, imposes its rustic architecture with its stretched roofs and original porch, which Françoise d 'Aubigné, Madame de Maintenon, wanted to teach the children of the parish. The interior is austere since there is no fresco, no table, no dorure… Why so much attachment to this building? Because the visitor appreciates his hidden treasures: Its Romanesque nef that leads to a Gothic choir dating back to 1555, its two statues of polychrome wood, its entrance to the cellar where the Trinitarian religious were buried, who were pasta from Avon from 1693 to 1790, and its sixty tombstones that are visible on one of his side. Long parish church of the vast country of beer, royal church to Louis XIV, classified as historic monument in 1840 by Prosper Mérimée, it became property of the commune in 1905 with the law of separation of churches and state. Finally, for the small story, the composer Jules Massenet was married in 1866.
