The construction of the church began in 1494 and was completed in 1535, following the destruction of the previous one by the Hundred Years' War. The tower was destroyed by fire in 1887, which led to its reconstruction, but it collapsed 13 years later, weakened by the fire.

Pre-Romanesque church rebuilt at the end of the 12th century, situated on a basalt spur. The church was built during the Romanesque period on the site of the chapel dedicated to Saint-Baudime, and preserves Romanesque parts amidst Gothic additions. The building had a pyramidal bell tower destroyed around 1813 or 1814 and replaced at that time by the present bell tower.

Church whose nave dates from the 13th century, the south transept dates from the 13th-14th century, the rest of the building, except for the apse, dates from the 10th century.

The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Convent of St. Lazarus called the Dominicans is located in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille, rue Edmond Rostand.

Site occupied since Gallo-Roman times. This edifice was built between the 11th and 13th centuries.

The church of Notre-Dame d'Aix-les-Bains, formerly the collegiate church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, is a church built in the Byzantine style at the end of the 19th century. An architectural competition was organised to design the church building and was won by Arthur Bertin. Work began in 1890 and was completed in 1892, although modifications were made up to 1905.

The church of Notre-Dame is a neo-Gothic building built between 1856 and 1865. The architect Paul Abadie was chosen to build the church as a small cathedral. It was built according to the original plans of the famous Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), architect of the diocesan buildings at the height of his fame, but whose estimate was too expensive for the municipality.

The church of Notre-Dame de Bressuire is a 10th and 11th-century church, mentioned as early as 1090, and topped in the middle of the 16th century by a 56-metre high gothic bell tower overlooking the town. Restoration work, carried out between 1978 and 2000, revealed the 1821 wall paintings that adorn the choir. It was also renovated in 2000 following the storm of December 1999.

The church of Notre-Dame de Châteauroux was built from 1877 to 1892 on a former Capuchin church that had fallen into disrepair during the 19th century. The plans for the new church were entrusted to the architect Alfred Dauvergne, who proposed a neo-Romanesque church, after the flamboyant Gothic style of the newly built Saint André church (1876). The influence of the Auvergne Romanesque style is notably present in the play of materials and polychromy with stones of different colours and aspects.
