Tips from the Community
The church was built at the beginning of the millennium on the remains of a Roman temple and is the only one still in use. Mass has been celebrated here, without interruption from the Middle Ages to the present day. It is the most beautiful, best-preserved medieval church in the municipality. It was restored in the 1990s. Thus, the church of St Pierre de Barbotan was built at great expense for the time: the entire building rests on stilts and bundles of wood, because at that time, the surroundings were nothing but marshland.

Pretty chapel, and space designed for a comfortable stop (tables, shelters, toilets, etc.). When I was there, the chapel was closed. Find out about the opening dates if you want to see the interior.

For the arcaded square in front of Saint Luperc Cathedral and the small streets in the surrounding area.

On May 18, 1959, cycling world champion André Darrigade left his jersey, thus starting a tradition. In summer, the church is open in the morning and afternoon. In autumn, unfortunately, it is only open in the afternoon from 3 p.m., so we were unable to visit.

I am truly more than surprised to find this church. But in the country that hosts the "Tour de France", which is so important beyond its borders, there must be a place of worship like this.

Beautiful square with half-timbered houses where the church also overlooks.

Along the green way created from the old railway there is this beautiful church dedicated to Santa Maria dei cyclists. Inside are endless t-shirts of famous cyclists. Absolutely obligatory stop.
