Distant consequence of the successive divisions of the Carolingian Empire, in the X° century, the Lyonnais is not yet in France but in the Cisjurane part of the kingdom of the Deux-BourgognesRodolphe III was king and his half-brother Burchard II, archbishop of Lyon.
Blismonde de Mercoeur owns a rural estate Talusatis. In 999, she gave her brother Odilon, the fifth abbot of Cluny, the church and the lands related to it so that he could found a priory there.
A stained glass attests this event. It is a kind of birth certificate of the Chater built around the priory.
The church is at the same time priestly and parish.
Its bell tower stands out from afar and its Romanesque part (apse, south apse and transept crosspiece) are characteristic of the Pays Lyonnais.
His paintings of the nineteenth century leave no one indifferent: they amaze some by their homogeneity and shock others by their naivety. However, they are part of our history and as such, they have just been completely restored.
It is one of the most famous Romanesque churches in the region.
A guided tour shows, from the current architecture, the marks left by the XII°, XVII°, XVIII° and XIX° centuries its evolution according to the history of France and Taluyers.
