It was entirely by chance, always possessed of this irrepressible need of the unbeliever for the things of heaven, that I entered this small village church. What was my surprise when, my eyes were drawn to the vault of the church, I discovered incredible Romanesque frescoes from the 12th century, still vivid and beautiful! There we will find a scene from creation, the story of the resurrection of Lazarus.
I highly recommend the detour to this tiny gem.
