SAN MARTIN CHURCH
Go there and contact
Church, once a stopover on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, blends Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
Begun in the 13th century, the edifice was built on an ancient Merovingian place of worship. Until the 16th century, the church underwent a series of alterations, which explains its Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Its interior layout is irregular: the nave is preceded by a porch, the Gothic choir is connected by a canted arch to a new Renaissance choir adorned with gargoyles, and the central tower is barlong at the transept crossing. Its original character is due above all to the choir, built over the "Chemin du Roy", which forms an arch for pedestrians to pass through.
