    It is around the collegiate church of Moustier that Saint-Yriex was built, classified city "Most Beautiful Detours of France". Its origins date back to the 6th century and there are still many reliquaries there.

    It is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

      The Collegiate owes its construction thanks to Aredius (founder of the city). It was indeed in the 6th century that he had a monastery built in the courtyards of Villa Attanum. It was when he died that the inhabitants decided to build a building that could house his tomb. It was a Romanesque church (only the bell-porch remains today). Then the canons decided to make it a semi-cathedral (going on the Gothic), from the 12th-13th centuries. During your visit, take the time to admire the silver reliquary of Saint Arédius. The portal of the bell tower represents limousine arches (curvatures). The Gothic portal of the South is surmounted by a Christ in Majesty dating from the 12th century. This collegiate is classified as a historical heritage in 1840.
