Eglise Saint Mayeul
Saint Mayeul church dates back to the 15th century and has undergone numerous alterations over the centuries. Its façade was registered with the Monuments Historiques in 1926. To the east, the sacristy is housed in a tower belonging to the former fortifications.
The facade, for which the church was listed as a Monument Historique, features a square gable crowned by a cornice, and is topped by a bell-wall with three pointed-arched bays.
A man's head in high relief is set into the right-hand buttress of the facade, and the transom of the corner pillar is adorned with two men's heads in half-relief, on either side of a shield bearing the numeral 87 above two lines; between the heads and the shield, flat relief inscriptions: L. TF to the left of the shield, F. TF to the right (Tracery marks?).
Inside, there are four chapels, two on each side. On the left, the very narrow Gothic-style Saint Vincent chapel, which has changed names several times (Notre-Dame-de-Pitié, Saint Roch), and the Saint Joseph chapel (formerly the chapel of the Rosary brotherhood). On the opposite right is the Chapelle de la Vierge, a continuation of the chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame-des-Grâces.
