|
Sud Vendee.. Haut Bocage.. Coastal Region.. Marais Poitevin.. Marais Breton.. Bas Bocage.. Plaine.. Marais Olonne..
Situated in
the bas bocage just 8kms from Les Herbiers this small village is best
known for its small 11th century church of St.Christophe and the
medieval wall frescos that were discovered in 1950. Some of the gruesome
13th century paintings depict the barbecuing of saints over log
fires,and the beheading of John the Baptist while others are less
bloodthirsty and include the Nativity,last supper and the Annunciation
there is even room for what is thought are the sponsors of the
paintings. The chancel has columns ontop of which stone carvings of
beasts and leaves.
