Église Saint Philbert

Between Nantes and Cholet, this 13th-century church reveals its finest features.

This welcoming church is dedicated to Saint Philbert, and is also one of the churches that didn't suffer too much from the Vendée Wars, with its Romanesque influence from the 12th and 13th centuries.

From the outside, you can see how the walls have been altered over the centuries. Inside, you can see the Romanesque nave structure. At the back of the church, take time to admire the magnificent 18th-century altarpiece featuring a painting of the Holy Family, inspired by a 16th-century original: the Virgin with Cherries. There is also a remarkable processional cross from the early 19th century.
