Tips from the Community
The vast majority of large churches in France bear the title "Notre-Dame" (which in German corresponds to the – much rarer – "Unserer Lieben Frau"). The patronage of this house of worship in the historic center of Marmande, and thus the corresponding parish community, has therefore been entrusted to Mary. The church itself is architecturally in the transition period from Romanesque to Gothic.

The lake of Clarens and its leisure center offer an ideal space during the warm season to enjoy the body of water. It's an ideal stop to cool off after a bike tour!
