Miré
From the Romanesque church, founded in the 11thcentury, only the bell tower remains with its narrow, round-arched openings. The whole edifice was completely altered in the early 16thcentury.
The panelled ceiling of the nave was decorated with compartments painted in the late 15thcentury. There are forty-three compartments. In the south, a series of saints.
