Attractions

Parish Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité

Parish Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité

It was built in the 12th century and is one of the oldest churches in the canton, despite the name of the community. It has a floor plan in the form of a Latin cross with orientation to the east. Due to several renovations over the centuries, the oldest preserved element is the west facade, from which a triangular bell gable rises. It shows four window openings on two rows for the bells, one of which dates from the 16th century and two others from the 19th century. The upper window opening did not have a bell for a long time, until Pastor Guérin found out at the beginning of the 20th century. Since he didn't have the funds to buy a real bell, he had one made out of wood and covered with metal. There is a cross on the top of the pediment. A Tolosan cross is carved on the left side of the pediment, and an iris on the right . The symbolism expresses the union of Occitania (historical region) Occitania and the French crown under the cross. At the end of the slope, a bear and a human face can be seen that appear grim. This representation of Jean de l'ours , one of the last great prehistoric myths, has been relatively widespread in churches since the 14th century. The facade is still decorated with gargoyles and four elements that were designed in the 15th century. Re-using Romanesque consoles , two human faces, a horse's head and a ram's head, have been carved out. The nave of the church has a length of three bays and is covered with a ribbed vault.
