Attractions

Saint Blaise parish church
  • Parish church dedicated to St. Blaise. Due to the simplicity of its Romanesque floor plan, its construction is dated to the 12th century. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the archpriesthood of Sault-de-Navailles of the diocese of Lescar . The north aisle and porch were added at a later time, probably in the 18th or 19th century. The nave opens to the choir via a round arch- shaped triumphal arch with a semicircular apse that is slightly narrower than the nave. The main nave is separated from the narrow aisle by two large arched arcades. A triangular bell gable dominates the west facade. It is interrupted by an opening for the bell, which is protected by a small canopy. The bell is operated manually at noon and in the evening. The bell ringer stands on a ladder and strikes the bell with two pebbles in a rhythm that is his secret. A small vestibule with an entrance on the north side is built in to the church building. Five stained glass windows are works by the glass painter Jacques Leuzy from Moissac ( Tarn-et-Garonne ) in 1963. They depict the suffering Christ , the Immaculate Conception as well as Christian symbols and geometric motifs. The works that have recently been carried out discovered an earlier window opening from medieval times in the longitudinal axis of the choir.
Beyries Castle
  • Beyries Castle. It is a small aristocratic house from the 17th century with a two-story residential wing framed by two pavilions . Nine chimneys from the 17th century have been preserved, which contributed to the registration of the castle as a monument historique since April 12, 2001.
