L'église Saint Louis

The history of this church shows the influence of Romanesque art in the region: a chapel built in 1835, then extended in 1878 in a neo-Romanesque style with a 3-sided chevet, archivolts over the arched bays and a cul-de-four.
A chapel was built in 1844, and its enlargement was decided in 1878 to become the «St Louis» church, with a baroque-style pediment that gave rise to the church district. On April 9, 1855, the cross on the church square was inaugurated. Inside the church, you can admire a painting by Reynaud Levieux, a Provençal painter born in 1613 in Nîmes and died in Rome in 1699. He created numerous religious paintings, including this one discovered in the attic of the St. Louis church presbytery. After examination, the canvas was restored by Mr. De Grasset. Also known as «The Crowning with Thorns,» this painting is dated 1650 and would belong to a series of four paintings on the theme of the Passion.
