Between Longny and Moutiers-au-Perche, the town of Mage extends along a central street lined on both sides with old houses. The village is completed by several hamlets and farms scattered throughout the countryside.
Quite eventful, its territory is divided into two very distinct parts: a mountainous and wooded part, and a cultivated part made up of various small fresh and fertile valleys, separated from each other by sandy hillsides whose nature is less suitable for cultivation. .
In the heart of the village, from the small square between the old presbytery and the church, the view extends between large trees towards the valley. You have to go down the slope below the church to admire the old Romanesque porch with arches, resting on columns whose capitals worn by time retain their interlacing decoration in places. It is the remains of a first church from the 12th century. The current building was rebuilt on the foundations, probably in the 15th century.
Inside, the eye is drawn to the altarpiece in a beautiful classic style, enhanced with colors and gilding. On the right side, matching Saint James, the statue of a bishop wearing the crosier and the miter, reminds us that The Magus is honored to have Saint Germain of Paris as his patron.
A side chapel was created in 1646 in which several lords of the neighboring castle of Feillet were buried.
The interior decoration is from the 18th century, notably thanks to the attentions of Claude-Adrien Helvétius, farmer general and lord of Voré and Feillet, but also poet and philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment.
