Vauchrétien: 11th and 12th-century church with a 19th-century façade
The 11th-century choir and nave were rediscovered during the restoration work following the fire in 1974. The keystone in one of the bays of the choir is adorned with a Blessing Christ. 13th-century mural paintings were discovered on the left of the triumphal arch and removed to the northern wall of the choir.
