Saint-Jean-d'Assé
I) Notre-Dame des Champs:
From the 11th to the 18th century. Notre-Dame-des-Champs was a parish church until 1809. The church consists of a single nave and a 12th-century choir. The Romanesque nave has undergone important alterations, but the small-bond walls and the narrow, round-arched windows probably date from the 12th or even the 11th century. The panelled vault is painted. The campanile dates back to the 16th century.

Left: miracle of Saint Eloi (he cuts off the leg of a horse to shoe its hoof, then puts the leg back in place) ** - Right: 13th- or 14th-century consecration cross and 12th-century consecration cross. When a church is consecrated, the bishop anoints the walls in twelve diiferent places, where consecration crosses have been painted or carved.
II) Saint-Fiacre:
12th to 17th century. The church has Romanesque origins and is composed of a single nave and a rectangular or flat chevet. It was restored in 1510. The bell tower and the panelled vault date back to 1534. The church was abandoned in the 19th century and its furniture dispersed.
