In ancient globigérine, the main monument of the city, imposing and unavoidable, acts as a magnetic pole on the traveller, which in every way when it wins the beaches of the west cannot avoid discovering its silvery nipple drawn towards the sky. The facade of the building is decorated with two clocks. The right is wrong, simple dial on the right of the facade, while that on the left is true.

The interior of the church deserves a few moments of contemplation, if only for the freshness provided during hot summer hours. In addition, you will be surprised to discover that this dome, which appears as a rotondité of the most regular, is actually based on a remarkable ellipse, which allows you to enter the outline by placing you underneath. You can marvel at its regularity and symmetry, leaving it to the surveyors to calculate the large axis, the small axis and the volume of half-ellipsoid.

Curious coincidence, this building is called the church of eggs, because it was built thanks to the villagers'donations, not in cash, but in kind, and especially in eggs. Poultry farmers brought them conscientiously for months until the product of sale was sufficient to initiate construction. Despite the funds raised, it took 34 years to complete it (1912-1946), the construction dependent on donations and thus the quality of the crops.

The whole church is seduced by its sobriety, not devoid of charm. Few furniture, a pleasant light, a discreet strength.
