Collegiate church in the heart of the city, whose nave has a gothic vault that rises above the high cylindrical pillars
Located in the heart of the town, this magnificent collegiate church is dedicated to Saint Martin, known as "the Spaniard", who came to Christianize the town in the5th century. The primitive sanctuary, built over his tomb in Merovingian times and whose remains can be seen in the crypt, was succeeded by this edifice. Construction was spread over the 12th and 13th centuries. Built in the neo-Romanesque Limousin style, the 19th-century bell tower stands 60 metres high. Note the Romanesque capitals, the sandstone baptismal font (12th century) and the stained-glass windows by Parisian glass artist Eugène Oudinot.
