The Saint-Louis church, a must see!
The Saint-Louis church was built in 1298 by the seneschal of Agenais. Philippe le Bel approved its construction in 1299. It is customary for him to have donated the relics of Saint-Louis to this church. It was rebuilt and fitted out the following century. And under the aegis of Jean-Aimé de Levezou de Vesins, in the middle of the 19th century, the vaults of the nave are built. One of them contains the bishop’s coat of arms. In addition, this Gothic church contains a splendid altarpiece, classified as a historical monument.
