ÉGLISE SAINT-MAURICE

Mentioned as early as 957. Has some Romanesque elements, but its current form dates from the 14th century. Large Gothic portal and tympanum framed by a triple molded stringcourse dominated by a beautiful six-tri-lobed rose window with hollowed-out spandrels surrounding a central hexagonal circle. The two-bay bell tower wall has been enlarged to resemble a square tower, with a third bay added. In the vault of the choir, enigmatically distributed, numerous holes can be seen, like "acoustic caissons" fitted with pottery. Keystone representing an early form of the Toulouse Cross. The nave appears to have been vaulted more recently. Originally, it would have been framed like the Eglise Saint Paul in Frontignan. Also of note is a stained glass window depicting Saint Maurice, patron saint of the village, and a broken millstone from the old mill found in the church altar.
