Saint Lawrence (Saint-LAURENT), to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was the Pope's archdeacon and was asked by the pagan Emperor Valerian to hand over the treasure of the church. Lawrence asked for three days, during which he distributed the church's wealth among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a gridiron - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Laurent in the calendar of saints is August 10th.

From this magnificent Romanesque church, you have a very beautiful panorama in front of you. An orientation table adjoining the church allows you to find your way around. The sobriety of the place, the pretty statues, lead to contemplation.
