About
St. Peter’s Church. Beautiful Romanesque church with a 12th century bell-tower-wall and a chevet with a cut-away side. The tympanum with reused chrism is inside.
Inside, the polygonal apse of the central nave is decorated with an important altarpiece representing the denial of Saint Peter. Its three sections are separated by twisted columns wrapped in vine branches. Only the central panel representing Christ handing the keys to Peter is old, dating from the 17th century. It is attributed to Jean Ferrère. Note the originality of the tabernacle, very rocky, where the paschal lamb lying on a book (the Old Testament?) is surmounted by an umbrella. It is attributed to Jean Claverie. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
