Father Lecoutre, realizing "one of his secret desires", made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Italy from 21 March to 23 June 1867. This trip preceded his "plan of repair, construction and enlargement of the church" which he led until his death in 1906. How could a priest from Boulonnais in the 19th century make the adventurous journey of the Orient? What were the stages and conditions of his journey?

Saint-Quentin Church is a village church entirely remodeled after the Revolution by Abbé Paul Amédée Lecoutre, who became an architect, sculptor, painter and decorator. This priest builder has made it a surprising and exceptional place of 19th century art and naive art. The Association of Friends of the Church offers fun visits for young people, an animation tour for school students and guided tours with themes for the public, an art exhibition (all disciplines) and a partnership with the other parishes of Abbé Lecoutre
