Description

You have to leave the village to discover, on a hill, the charming church of Ecueil, which originated in the 12th century. It seems that she was then in the middle of the village which later moved, leaving the church on its hill in the middle of the vineyards.

The surrounding space is an incentive to discover. It is necessary to go up the small path to discover this building which preserves its Romanesque marks in spite of a choir which would be rather Gothic. The rather low and stocky nave is dominated by a square tower flanked by transepts. The proportions of this set are very balanced.

The interior surprises us with the contrast of light between the choir and the nave, giving it an intimate side that encourages meditation. In a corner of the aisle, the Renaissance baptismal font offers its sculpted facets for the discovery of our eyes.
