SAINT-PARDOUX CHURCH

Built in the 15th century, this church is distinguished by its massive combed bell tower even if it is above all for its treasure that it is known. The 12th century Limoges enamel shrine containing the relics of St. Stephen, the first martyr, has featured in many national and international exhibitions due to the virtuosity shown by the artist in the use of enamels, mixing four to six different shades of which he decorated each cell. Other remarkable works include a Louis XIII carved wooden celebrant's chair, a pulpit for preaching and an 18th century high altar. Restoration work on the altarpiece has revealed frescoes representing the brother of Louis XI who died in Aurillac, which are now visible.
