In the summer heat, the church offers a wonderful shady spot on the north side.

Located in Eure, the church of Bretagnolles, dedicated to Notre-Dame, is a magnificent building made of rubble, with a rectangular plan of Romanesque origin. The whole was remodeled in the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th centuries.

The Notre-Dame church, in Le Cormier, in Eure, in Normandy, is attached to the Pacy Vallée d'Eure parish, in the Eastern sector in the diocese of Evreux.

On the eastern edge of the Pays d'Ouche, between Breteuil-sur-Iton and Verneuil-sur-Avre, the village of Dame-Marie has been home to at least one building dedicated to the Virgin Mary since the 11th century. While certain elements such as the lower half of the south façade or the baptismal font are reminiscent of a 13th/14th century building, the building was almost completely rebuilt in the 16th century, after the ruins caused by the Hundred Years' War. The following were then created: raised stone buttresses, single or double-mullioned windows with flamboyant tracery pierced to the south of the nave, bays with banded arches and semicircular arches. Finally, the essential contribution was the addition of a seigneurial chapel of Saint-Sébastien to the north of the nave. After numerous alterations in 1955 and more recently, it now presents a general state of disrepair. The village of Dame-Marie merged in 2016 with those of Saint-Ouen d'Attez and Saint-Nicolas d'Attez, to form the commune of Sainte-Marie d'Attez, which has fewer than 600 inhabitants. Two of the three churches listed as Historic Monuments required major restoration work. The commune began with the emergency of the one in Saint-Ouen which was threatened with closure. It is now the one in Dame-Marie which requires major restoration. We are attached to our three churches, they bear witness to our past, help us to pass them on to future generations!

The building is oriented. The church is built according to an elongated plan with a semicircular apse chevet. There is a porch at the front of the nave and it adjoins another building. Access to the church is via a porch made of half-timbering. A wooden door is placed on the south side of this porch. The gable wall on which this porch is placed is devoid of decoration. The south drip wall is pierced with two small semicircular bays. The drip walls are decorated with a checkerboard frieze. The semicircular chevet to the east is slightly narrower and lower than the nave. It has three semicircular bays. Finally, on the ridge of the roof is placed on the west side a bell tower. This square-based bell tower is opened with a few louvered openings. Finally, a domed octagonal spire rises above the square base. The roof of the porch and the nave has two inclined planes. The chevet is covered with a hipped roof.
