About the location

Église Saint-Mammès

The church of Saint-Mammès has a nave of the thirteenth century. The choir was redone in the sixteenth century. The church has a rather remarkable portal adorned with columns of the middle of the thirteenth century with leafy capitals and chimeras: fantastic figures, mythical or grotesque used for decorative purposes not to be confused with the gargoyle whose purpose is the drainage of rainwater from the roofs.
