The name Fourchaud seems to come from “Fourche”, as the Gallo-Roman road branched off there, coming from Bourges and leading either to Lyon or Clermont-Ferrand.

The Sainte-Croix Church has a magnificent wooden ceiling in the nave and colorfully painted Gothic columns!

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.

The name Fourchaud seems to come from “Fourche”, since this is where the Gallo-Roman road which came from Bourges and went either to Lyon or to Clermont-Ferrand separated.

Fourchaud Castle is located in the town of Besson. Its construction dates back to the 19th century. The construction was done on the ruins of the keep which dates from the 14th century.
