Little happy fence for each day - HFF

The old houses nestle around the church as if to protect it. Despite the destruction, extensions and restorations that affected it from the 16th to 19th century, the Romanesque structure of Saint-André church (11th/12th centuries) is still clearly visible. It was topped with a heavy classical bell tower in 1779.

PETITE CLÔTURE POUR CHAQUE JOUR. Les vieilles maisons se blottissent autour de l'église comme pour la protéger. Par delà les destructions, agrandissements et restaurations du XVIe au XIXe siècle qui l'ont affectée, la structure romane de l'église Saint-André (XIe/XIIe siècles) reste grandement visible. Elle a été coiffée d'un lourd clocher classique en 1779.

KLEINER ZAUN FÜR JEDEN TAG. Die alten Häuser schmiegen sich um die Kirche wie zu ihrem Schutz. Trotz der Zerstörungen, Erweiterungen und Restaurierungen vom 16.-19. Jh., die sie in Mitleidenschaft gezogen haben, ist die romanische Struktur der Kirche Saint-André (11./12. Jh.) noch immer gut sichtbar. Die Kirche wurde 1779 mit einem schweren klassischen Glockenturm versehen.
