The church of Criteuil, a former temple

Description

Stop in front of the main door of the church. You may read an inscription carved above the door.

During the French revolution, the revolutionaries decided to ban any religion except a new lay religion based on the reason. This church, as many others, was transformed into a "Temple of Reason" dedicated to this republican order.

Then go straight.

You can enjoy the restaurant in the former presbytery for a lunch or dinner in a friendly atmosphere.
