Bezannes

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Saint-Martin church is a fine example of Champagne Romanesque architecture mixed with Gothic architecture. Built in the 11th century, it has several original elements in its main parts. Transformed many times, it now reveals a Romanesque tower surmounted by a 16th century spire, as well as a very beautiful 18th century statue of Saint Eloi. Visitors will appreciate the apse with an open choir in lava decorated with anthropomorphic modillions as well as the interior painted decorations in the nave and the aisles.

While strolling through the city, you can also discover the works of Christian Lapie displayed in front of the TGV station or visit the tomb of Alfred Gérard, a French industrialist who died at the beginning of the 20th century. The latter is flanked by a stone torii and three ornamental lanterns and reveals inscriptions in Japanese.
