Tips from the Community
The film documentary "Border Paths – The Customs Officers' Trail" states on its website: "As early as the 17th century, customs officers guarded the country's border on the Sentier des Douaniers. Back then, the rugged coastline offered smugglers many opportunities to secretly land their goods. Today, it is primarily patrolled by conservationists to preserve the unique flora and fauna. On its varied stages, along fjord-like bays, high cliffs, and majestically towering lighthouses, the old trail winds through a paradise for nature lovers. The shimmering emerald-green sea and bizarre rock formations of pink granite create a coastal landscape that is unique in the world. This coastal path, once created to guard, now serves to preserve nature along this living border between land and sea." The film about the "Sentier des Douaniers" (duration: 43 minutes / language: German) in the ARD media library can be found via the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/grenzwege-der-zoellnerpfad/grenzwege-der-zoellnerpfad/mdr/Y3JpZDovL21kci5kZS9zZW5kdW5nLzI4MjA0MC81MjE2OTktNTAxNzM2

The village of Saint-Josse is the subject of an important pilgrimage, celebrated every year at Pentecost. Saint-Josse, patron saint of pilgrims and farmers, is also that of fishermen and sailors. On the north wall of the church, a unique treasure of history and faith can be found.

The name Airon comes from the Latin agro which means fertile land. The history of the village is linked to that of Airon-Notre-Dame. Both parishes belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Josse. Moreover, a chapel was built in 1809 on the site called the Bavémont Cross because, according to tradition, Saint-Josse restored the sight of a little girl on this site when he returned from his pilgrimage to Rome in 665

A first church was built in 1886, then another in 1911, the first was too small, and in 1946 it was decided to rebuild everything that had been demolished in 1944. Materials are scarce and the work is slow. The rebuilt church was consecrated on 7 June 1954. Just like in 1911, the church proves to be too small. Therefore, an extension was built as an extension of the right transept, between 1 March 1957 and 1 June 1958. The building has a Latin cross plan, faces north and is flanked on the east side by a parish annex. The southern portal is decorated with rubble and in a few cases with red bricks, which results in a pleasant polychromy. There are four bays up to the transept. Inside, the double and flying buttresses are supported by columns with Corinthian capitals, while a long barrel vault in the framework animates the central nave up to the crossing of the transept, which consists of an octagonal pointed vault.
