The Church of St John the Baptist in Béré
The Church of St John the Baptist in Béré
The oldest church in the department
Built in the 11th century, not far from the Brients‘ fortress and the Saint-Sauveur Monastery, it is a rather bare church but its Baroque altarpiece (17th century) and its listed statues give it all its charm, under the watchful eye of an “Eternal Father” originating from an old altarpiece and a Sainte Rita carved by Jean Fréour in 1950 in the beam of an old cider press.
