ÉGLISE SAINT DENIS ET SAINTE MADELEINE - HAMEAU DE SABLES - BRIOSNE LÈS SABLES

Situated in the hamlet of Sables, the church can be seen from afar thanks to the surprising shape of its bell tower.
Inside, the furnishings are just as astonishing, with a 16th-century tombstone depicting a woman who, from her dress and hairstyle, appears to have come from South America.
You can also admire the panelled vault, 16th-century stained glass windows, numerous funerary slabs and a Virgin and Child.

Don't miss the panoramic view over the surrounding countryside. This view and this unusual church have inspired Catherine Paysan, who has described the place in several of her books.
