Tips from the Community

June 2, 2026, Église Notre-Dame de la Nativité, La Machine

The parents of the Mother of God MARY, whose birth this church celebrates as its patron, are the two saints Anne and Joachim. Thus, they are the grandparents of Jesus, but they are not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament. An exact date in the historical-scientific sense is not known for the various stages in the life of the Mother of God. But the feast of the birth of the God-bearer – as one of the numerous honorary titles of Mary is – is celebrated on September 8th in many Christian denominations (Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and Armenian).

The Church of La Machine dates from the 19th century, it has a square bell tower. Its construction took place largely thanks to financing from the coal factory.

La Machine is a recent commune built around its coal mines. Although the last well closed in 1974, the city retains a rich heritage. Many shops are open there and recall this industrial past.

The ramparts of Decize are an impressive vestige of this former fortified trading town.
