Saint Martin, to whom the church of Les Cotes-D'Arey is dedicated, is - along with Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “parting of the coat,” when he leaves half of his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later elected bishop of Tours (France) - initially against his will. Many people will have fond childhood memories of making lanterns in kindergarten and primary school, the evening lantern parade through the dark village/district - and of course the delicious “Weckmann”.

The Saint-Martin des Côtes-d'Arey church underwent a renovation in 2022 which made it possible to consolidate its structure. Rebuilt several times from 1852 on the basis of the old church, it is attached to the same parish as the chapel of Saint-Mamert, located a few streets away.
