ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH
The first time during the fifteenth century, then a second time in the nineteenth century, Saint-Étienne, Romanesque church, was rehabilitated. It is the lot of all these little churches of the Romanesque High Berry to have faced the Hundred Years War or religious wars, with the destruction of part of their bodies. Nevertheless, the choir and transept, witnesses' untouchable 'or' preserved 'are still present. The curves of absidioles and absidioles call immediately our gaze that, for the lovers or lovers of Romanesque art - the austere stripper announcing the flamboyant Gothic future - takes place in the history of medieval architecture. The one of Saint-Étienne presents striking carved capitals, all different, each bearing its own meaning or legend. A touching polychrome pedestrian, a carved wooden chair that is becoming rarer and an impressive colimasm, nourishes our appetite for knowledge.
