Led by historian Pierre Vallin, set out to explore this fortified church, a unique testament to the region’s architectural and religious heritage. On the agenda: a historical overview of the building’s origins and evolution, along with a description of its architectural features, both exterior and interior. A deep dive into the region’s heritage through a tour rich in anecdotes and details. A 12th-century church with a single nave and two transepts, vaulted in the 15th century with ribbed vaults resting on the original 12th-century columns. The interior has been remodeled. The exterior was reinforced with defensive buttresses added in the 15th century.
