Eglise Sainte-Foy

In Sainte Foy, in the heart of the village not far from the listed pond, stands the church. Built in the 11th century, it retains the characteristics of the Romanesque churches of Marsan: a flat chevet with barrel vaulting associated with a wider and higher nave, but only carpentry.
In modern times, a dividing wall transforms the chevet into a sacristy, with the high altar taking its place in a niche. The bays are widened and two pillars are built to support the tribune and a small bell tower. Inside, elements of the decoration recall the martyrdom of Saint Foy, patron saint of the church. Another remarkable element is the tabernacle and its Eche Homo. Under the picturesque half-timbered porch the Monument to the Dead has taken place. This large bas-relief of waxed wood represents the Republic, wearing a Phrygian cap. Nearby, the Sainte Quitterie spring cured headaches.
