LAGEYRAT CHURCH
4 km from the village, the old parish church of Bas-Chalus deserves a visit for its double architecture, half-romanesque, half-Gothic. Dedicated to Saint Etienne it was built in the th century. Destroyed during the Hundred Years War, the current building was rebuilt in the th century. A moving place due to the brands of time and simplicity. Its paving made of carved tombstones is also remarkable. The pilgrims on the road of St. James baptized one of the vaults "tomb of Saint Quitterie", in homage to this holy lady they adored. His statue attracted a crowd of migraines. To see his wishes, you had to bite the statue with pins. She now lives in Chalus, sheltered from the faithful assailants. They remain a source of devotion. The cemetery also houses old tombs.
