Passage through the cycle lane possible with a two-seater child trailer (Thule Cross)

Be careful, there is a footbridge that serves as a cycle path, but its width is limited and does not allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross. It is unthinkable to use it with an electric bike with 70 cm handlebars... It is better to ride on the bridge, especially since there is a road sign authorizing cyclists at the entrance to the bridge... It seems that not all motorists know this sign.

The community, often referred to as the "Order of the Templars" for short, whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem", takes us back to the 13th century. Founded in the Holy Land, it spread surprisingly quickly with numerous branches in many countries in Central Europe. The order gained notoriety through the fact that it was dissolved in 1312 by the French king and the pope and its members were accused of being heretics. The main reason for the dissolution, however, was not the human and religious misconduct (heresy) of the members, which was merely a pretext, but the legendary wealth of this order. King Philip IV of France (1268 to 1314) wanted to use this measure primarily to improve his coffers and secure its treasures.

The origin of the monastery is unknown. The priory church already existed in 1117, when the church and its belongings were given to the abbey of La Chaise-Dieu. The priory, which contained twelve monks, fell into complete decline in the 15th century following poor management. At the end of the 16th century, the monks of Saint-Maur reestablished monastic discipline there and restored the church and the convent, ruined by the Wars of Religion. Of the 12th century church, the main apse and the north apsidiole remain. It was completed in the 14th century by the construction of the nave. The church was originally to have three naves. Only one remains, rebuilt on the plan of the middle nave. By a particular layout, the main apse is extended by a narrower and non-concentric apse. A chapel to the south was to complete this set. The apse of the sanctuary, vaulted in the bottom of the oven, being very low, it was necessary, to unite it to the bay of the choir through the second hemicycle, to resort to a particular construction: the large hemicycle has no vault. perfect hemispherical; to reduce the descent, the vault was abutted on a few foundations established above the triumphal arch. The ornamentation consists of plants, protruding heads, real or hybrid animals, scenes of characters. The door opening on the western facade is in the style of the 14th century. A steeple was erected on a square base, behind the gable, and was absorbed into an octagon.
