The
Romanesque-Byzantine style church at
Cause de Clérans
dates from the end of the 11th century and
the 12th century, but its nave is modern.
Notice the steeple on the crossing,
sheltering a dome on pendentives, an apse in
the shape of a quarter-sphere, and six
columns with arched mouldings as support.
The capitals are carved with persons, birds,
and lions. You can see a bishop between two
wolves and an eagle with the wings open and
hanging down.
The apse is decorated with seven arcs of
brackets hanging on columns whose capitals
are carved with birds and quadrupeds.
