The Church of Notre Dame at Yzeures-sur-Creuse .....





As is usual, with even very small French towns and villages, the church was magnificent. I love the carved detail around the small side door. The church of Notre-Dame was rebuilt in the nineteenth century. The first church was built on the site of a Gallo-Roman temple of Minerva.

By the time we arrived the church was locked, so we weren't able to look inside. We will make a return visit, especially as the Intermarche and the Brico are just up the road!
