At the beginning of the 10th and the 11th century Romanesque art flowered in the Auvergne, with a heritage of more than 250 buildings, is one of most extensive of Europe.

The country is in riot, the crusades come, and the pilgrims cross out Europe from north to south and take along their ideas. The buildings set up in the Auvergne are as a result, as you will agree some of the most beautiful in France.

A particular Romanesque church is in Saint-Menoux. This church is dedicated to Menulphus, the Bretton bishop who came to die here in the seventh century; it is one of the rarest churches with a hall dating from before the year one thousand.

The church in Saint-Menoux is a small place of pilgrimage for people with stress and head ache complaints. The placards with merci, indicate a lot of thanks. The photograph on this page shows both the exterior and interior of the church.
