Built of red sandstone in the and centuries, this church is a fine example of Romanesque art

Built of red sandstone in the 11th and 12th centuries, the church was enlarged in the late Middle Ages with side chapels and fortified during the Wars of Religion. A fine example of Romanesque art, the 12th-century bell tower with gables changes from a square to an octagonal floor plan. The adjacent watchtower bears witness to the preoccupation with defending the site during the Hundred Years' War. Note the Causse white limestone portal with its finely sculpted tympanum (12th century), a Baroque painted wood altarpiece, a wooden Virgin of Pity (16th century) and a reclining Christ.

Dans ce petit village typique avec ses maisons en grès rouges, pleins de petites boutiques à découvrir...
On retrouve une belle église, bien entretenue qui fait partie de la liste des plus beaux villages de France.
We discovered this village fabulous a little by chance (on the way to the Cantal) and we fell in love. Original, we love to stroll family. L'Eglise St-Pierre like the rest of the village is a small masterpiece who transport us in another century.
This church is the highlight of the visit in this village which deserves thousand times its name from " most beautiful village of France".

Miss under any circumstances when you go in Correze.
