    Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this church in La Couronne is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
    The memorial day of John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

      12th century building surmounted by a conical arrow with scales, leaning on an octagonal drum pierced with arcades forming, at the base of the arrow, a continuous ornamental motif. The facade has a continuous arrangement of arcades surmounting the three arches on the ground floor, the main one of which is open and gives access to the nave. Inside, the nave is barrel-vaulted on transverse arches. The building with a single nave has three vaulted apses.
