Romanesque church, whose construction began in the 12th century, houses many works, liturgical objects and pieces of furniture classified as Historic Monuments. Located in the heart of the village, and erected under the patronage of the glorious martyr of the Gauls, the church is among the best preserved in the former diocese of Avranches.

The Church of Saint-Quentin is a unique example of popular art in the Naïve Art strain of Douanier Rousseau at the end of the 19th century.

This church dates from the 12th century, and is part of the historical heritage of the town of Provins, in the middle of the medieval city. Its particularity is to have been left unfinished. Work finally resumed in the 16th century to close the nave.

The church is dedicated to Saint Remacle, bishop and founder of the abbeys of Stavelot. Historians assume that the parish of Jupille is a foundation of Stavelot origin. In the 18th century, the church was severely damaged and a new neo-Gothic sandstone church was built at the end of the 19th century

Discovering Saint-Remacle church is a bit like taking a step back in time to the Middle Ages and its spirituality. It is said to be the thousand-year-old building, even if the current nave, built on former sanctuaries, actually dates back to the 12th century. The visitor is struck, from the outside, by the proportions of the church, characteristic of the early Romanesque period, with its massive bell tower, small windows and masonry punctuated by fine pilasters.

This monumental building, inspired by the architecture of Roman basilicas, was built at the beginning of the 19th century thanks to the patronage of wealthy industrialists at a time when the town prospered in wool and textiles. The designers clearly wanted to provide their town with a prestigious building of class.

In neo-Romanesque style, the church is the second largest church in the city. Built in 1860, it is located a stone's throw from the Place Ducale and the Place Jacques-Felix, formerly the Place de l'Agriculture, built under the direction of the diocesan architect Jean François Racine, who died before its completion.

Built from the 12th century on a rocky promontory overlooking the confluence of the Seine and the Marne, the church of Saint-Rémi bears witness to the history of the town. Today located in the town centre of Maisons-Alfort, opposite the town hall, the church is composed of two parts. The three bays of the choir and the bell tower are from medieval times (12th-16th century). In medieval times, the church extended eastwards. For unknown reasons, the eastern bays were destroyed and the double arch was closed at the back of the choir. The western part (nave, north aisle and sacristy) dates from the 19th century and was built in neo-gothic style with a classical façade.

The Saint-Rémy church, located in Pizieux, Pays de la Loire region was built in the twelfth century. The church is composed of a single nave extended by a narrower choir, with a flat chevet. The southern chapel was probably added at the end of the Middle Ages. Inside, there is historical decoration, including an 18th century altarpiece.

The Church of Saint-Roch, in the historicist style, dates to 1862. The baroque furnishings produced in 1729 by the sculptor Jean-Georges Scholtus were removed in the 1970s in conjunction with the Liturgical Reform. From 2001 on, the artist Uli Lindow from Husum (Germany) strove with success to give the space a more welcoming aspect with the creation of new stained-glass windows, contemporary liturgical furniture in oak and a striking set of Stations of the Cross.
