In the heart of the artists' village of Gargilesse stands a 12th-century Romanesque church that George Sand once called a "little masterpiece." From the outside, it appears simple, but inside you'll find more than 100 carved capitals. Once connected to the castle by an underground passage, the church still exudes the atmosphere of centuries of faith, art, and history.
