Church of Saint-Nicolas

Numerous archaeological excavations were carried out around the church, bringing to light Merovingian sarcophagi and burials possibly dating back to the 15th century. The neo-Gothic stained glass windows of the chevet date from 1854: the three canopies depict the life of Christ. The stained glass of the northern chapel is dedicated to the Virgin and that of the southern chapel to Saint Genevieve.

The stupa was built in 1926 to commemorate the soliders from Laos and Cambodia who died defending France in the First World War.

The Merovingian chapel built by Dagobert on the site of the present church was destroyed in 861. The church of Saint Saturnin was built and enlarged from the 11th to the 20th century. Classified as a historical monument in 1909, the 11th and 12th century bell tower has been restored several times. In 1794, in order to erase any vestige of religion, the horizontal arms of the cross which surmounted the bell-tower were sawn off: it is this strange metallic decoration that can be seen on the lawn in front of the church. With its 32.50m height, the bell tower would pass entirely under the nave of Notre-Dame de Paris! Beheaded by lightning in August 1942, its spire was only rebuilt identically after the war. The present porch was bought by Mrs Smith-Champion from the city of Paris and offered in 1914 after the church was enlarged. It probably comes from a Parisian convent. Flamboyant Gothic (late 14th century), it is decorated with a mosaic and surmounted by a Virgin and Child dating from 1914.
