Tips

The church is cited from the year 1000. Jouin was a hermit and monk, founder of Ension Abbey in the 15th century, venerated as an apostle of the west.

It is made up of 4 aligned chapels. Its beautiful entrance porch is in Renaissance style with Florentine decor. On the bell tower there is a cross on each side surmounted by a rooster and the other by a hen. If you ask the inhabitants of Dancé why, they will answer you with a smile and a play on words:
“because it takes two to dance”

The altarpiece dates from the 18th century and the sacristy door is in the Louis XIII style. The choir has a large wooden altar painted in the Louis XV style.

In the heart appears a wall plaque in memory of Blessed Jacques Jean Lemeunier (1747-1792), vicar in Dancé from 1783 to 1786.

We can see a statue of Saint Barbara in polychrome terracotta. The modern stained glass windows are by Paul Bony.
