The Michelin Guide's review
An edifice that was known as Our Lady was first built here in the 4C but the church of St Lazarus dates in reality from the 11C. The façade is interesting on account of the two doorways featuring remarkable archivolts: cherubs, musicians of the Apocalypse, signs of the Zodiac... Inside, you will see outstanding works from the 14C, 15C and 17C. Do not miss the 18C trompe-l'oeil paintings in the rotunda-shaped chapel and, from the chancel, look up to the splendid 15C organ loft.
