Vendée Romanesque source:
Municipality located east of Fontenay-le-Comte, the church Saint-Hilaire belongs largely to the Romanesque period. It is especially the capitals of the side arcades that are old, we will also see those under the dome of the bell tower.


Vendee source:
Our church is the oldest Romanesque building in the region and one of the oldest in France. It was built in 1070. Adjoining the church, one of the Protestant leaders, built in 1570 a stately home then became the town hall. Its 2 turrets have a particularity that we let you discover. At the end of the 19th century, the halls were built according to the Baltard style (we owe it to the Baltard architect, among others Les Halles de Paris)



source Vendée romane :
Commune se trouvant à l’Est de Fontenay-le-Comte, l’église Saint-Hilaire appartient en grande partie à l’époque romane. Ce sont surtout les chapiteaux des arcades latérales qui sont anciens, nous verrons également ceux sous la coupole du clocher.


source Vendee :
Notre église est le plus vieil édifice roman de la région et un des plus anciens de France. Elle fut construite en 1070. Jouxtant l’église, un des chefs protestants, fait construire en 1570 une demeure seigneuriale devenue ensuite la mairie. Ses 2 tourelles ont une particularité que nous vous laissons découvrir. Fin XIXe siècle, les halles sont construites selon le style Baltard (on doit à l’architecte Baltard entre autres les Halles de Paris)
