Aperçu

After several months of restoration, discover in a new light the pre-Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre, remarkable for its frescoes before the year 1000, among the oldest in Europe.

The choir vaulted in the Romanesque period preserves exceptional paintings: Visitation, Adoration of the Magi, Crucifixion... discovered in 1851 under a whitewash. Around the church, the Merovingian cemetery houses carved sarcophagi, witnesses of a very old occupation of the site, probably built on an ancient pagan temple. A rare site to explore to trace the origins of Christianity monumental. ⛪ Guided tour Informations Free.
