Eglise Saint Pierre (de Chantonnay) : 6 Rue Parv. Saint-Pierre, 85110 Chantonnay, France

During a chance car ride, I discovered Chantonnay and this church. Its elegant spire can be seen from afar. The forecourt is welcoming, and the three portals on the façade, like those at Poitiers Cathedral, are typical of the Plantagenet …

From the outside, it's a very beautiful church right in the city center, next to the brand new covered market. I couldn't tell you anything about the inside; I've never been inside, but there's often someone playing the organ on Friday mornings.

A magnificent church, well-maintained, grand, with beautiful stained-glass windows. My grandchildren received their First Communion in this church, and it was a very pleasant experience; the priests were friendly... even though I'm not a believer!
