The church of Saint-Mathurin is one of the main religious achievements of François-Villers, and one of the most imposing neoclassical churches built on the levee in the 19th century. The tower of the bell tower is covered with a dome, itself surmounted by a lantern in the shape of a small temple. The whole is built in beautiful tufa stone. The interior gives an impression of monumentality and majesty. The nave is 27.60 m long. The choir is pierced with an oculus delivering a zenith lighting: it is thus immersed in a semi-darkness contrasting with the brightness of the nave, and contributing to the dramatization of the liturgy. The furniture, of great quality, is contemporary of the church. These woodwork, like all the furniture of the church, was made in 1846 by the Royal School of Arts and Crafts of Angers. The Gate of Peace, designed by the Catalan artist Josep Grau-Garriga (1929-2011) was installed in 2012. The artist wanted his adoption commune to benefit from one of his creations. He chose the church, for which he designed the Door of Peace in 2009. This monumental work brings together mixed techniques (stained glass, painting) and integrates the parish’s monument to the dead in a vast symbolic composition.
