This town near Lapleau named after its patron saint: Saint Medard (Sancti-Médard (c. 1315). Médardus, of Germanic origin, was bishop of Noyon in the early Middle Ages (sixth century)).
This lovely village is built on the slope of a wooded plateau. It overlooks the church belfry, it was built between the 13th and 15th century, enlarged and modified over the next two centuries. The head is flat and a wooden barrel vault of the nave covers Low. The building is Gothic, its imposing architecture and elegant ambience here are intimately linked. It keeps a statue of St. Jacques as he was on the road from Vézelay to Saint Jacques de Compostela, pilgrims could take a break there and pray.
The carved altarpiece (c. 1700) is a realization of the monks of the Abbey of cabinetmakers Valletta (razed in 1959 Impoundment Dam Chastang, common Soursac). The statues of St. Roch (v. 1600) and St. Paul are placed in small niches high up in the choir. The treasures of jewelry and enamel limousine to the church are now kept in the church of Lapleau.
Outside, the south wall is crowned with many carved corbels. A monumental cross pattée with nodes recalls the great epidemics that spread through Europe in the late Middle Ages and during periods that followed.
