The church of Saint-Généroux is a historical and cultural site which is worth a visit during a walk in Deux-Sèvres. Dating from the 10th century, it is considered one of the oldest churches in France and features remarkable pre-Romanesque architecture. You can admire its sculpted capitals, its three-bay triumphal arch and its cul-de-four apse. The church is located on the banks of the Thouet, a peaceful river which offers a pleasant natural setting for a walk. You can also enjoy the 13th century Romanesque bridge which spans the river and offers a beautiful view of the church and the surrounding landscape.
