With the patronage of "John the Baptist", this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of the voice in the desert prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: In the desert prepare the way for the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!" (Luther Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Mother of God Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself was to give birth to Jesus Christ, and her - until then childless - relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of Saint Jean Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th.

The church presents a Latin cross plan with a three-aisle nave of three bays preceded by a fore-nave, a bell tower at the transept crossing, and a choir with side aisles of three bays with a flat chevet. The church has preserved from the 11th century the upper part of the nave walls: you can clearly see the small windows blocked to the north and south, above the large arches.

In the village of Hillion, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church has retained Romanesque parts but it was remodeled at the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century.
