Nice church
Highlight • Other
Legend has it that the builders wanted to erect a single bell tower, which would have been taller than that of Saint-Bénigne Cathedral in Dijon.
The diocese rejected this, so the builders opted for two bell towers, each 52 meters high.
There are only seven other examples of this model left in France.
Inside are some beautiful pieces of religious furniture, including the superbly carved pulpit.
Another peculiarity is that there are no chairs, but rather numbered oak pews, which are undoubtedly original. If you have a good eye, you can see a statue in the keystone of the choir.
(By Jean Michel Dhainaut; many thanks for this!)
