SAINT EULALIE CHURCH

The earliest mention of a church in Sainte-Eulalie dates back to 1277. This refers to the village's former Romanesque church, replaced in 1820 by a small chapel dedicated to Saint Elizabeth, built in the heart of the village in 1723. The main part of the building thus dates from the 18th century and is in the Neo-Romanesque style. The west facade, erected in 1924, houses the current entrance portal. The original chapel's portal, adorned with a sculpted keystone, can still be seen on the south facade. Inside, the decoration remains very simple, consisting only of a plain band at the base of the vault. The chancel contains a crucifix sculpted by a local artist, Mr. Jardé, depicting Christ in a state of suffering. Above the entrance portal is a stained-glass window depicting Saint Eulalia. Opposite the south facade of the church stands a large cross known as the bubonic cross. A cast iron Christ on the cross, from the contemporary period, has been affixed to it.
