De beoordeling van de Michelin Gids
Built on top of an early Christian basilica, the collegiate church of St Ours has carved wooden stalls dating from the 15th century. In the black-and-white mosaic (12th century) in front of the altar, the scene where Samson kills the lion is surrounded by the enigmatic palindrome phrase "magic square", in an unusual arrangement (in a circle). The church is home to another treasure discovered by chance in 1945: under the roof of the former basilica, a cycle of 11th-century frescoes, the only ones of their kind in Europe.
